i was at a loss as to what to give hubby for christmas this year.
while shopping at aldi, i found tins of fancy nuts. hubby likes nuts but flavored ones are loaded with salt. so i bought a pouch of plain cashews and a pouch of plain almonds and decided to make him homemade flavored nuts.
these are sweet and spicy chinese five spice roasted almonds. the only mod i made to this recipe was using straight up sugar instead of stevia.

can't find the cashew recipe, but it called for chili powder (i used chipolte for a smokey flavor), sea salt and a smudge of olive oil.
hubby was surprised to find flavored nuts under the tree. he thought i slaved away making them! they were really easy - only a few minutes to mix up spices.
i think i'll buy some more pouches of nuts, so hubby and i can experiment and create new nut flavors.
homemade flavored nuts make awesome gifts.
