TIPS

Check out these useful tips for making Spiced Nut Medley:

• Customise Texture: Lightly crush the nuts for a different texture, making them easier to sprinkle over yoghurt or porridge.

• Even Coating: Stir the cinnamon through thoroughly for an even flavour.

• Portion Control: Divide into small containers for easy grab-and-go snacks.

• Freshness: Toast the nuts in a dry pan for 1 to 2 minutes if you prefer a deeper roasted flavour, but note this will add a step and remove the raw classification.

• Spice Up: Add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick if desired.

VARIATIONS

• Nut Swap: Use pecans or cashews instead of walnuts for a different taste profile.

• Sweet Touch: Add a sprinkle of coconut sugar for a subtle sweetness.

• Crunch Boost: Add seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds for an extra crunch.

• Fruit Fusion: Add a few raisins or dried cranberries to create a sweet and tart dimension.

• Herbaceous Twist: Add a small pinch of rosemary or thyme for a herby finish.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Short-Term Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

• For longer storage: Refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.

• Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as freezing it can affect the texture of the nuts.

• Meal Prep: Multiply the ingredients and portion into small containers for easy snack prep.

• Serving Suggestion: Add to yoghurt, overnight oats or sprinkle over a smoothie bowl for an extra crunch.
