Recipe Tips
The roasted nuts can be eaten as a snack or be chopped up and used in salads, or as a garnish for soups or stews.
Any selection of nuts and seeds will work, but watch for allergies! These nuts can be kept in an air-tight container for 4 days.
Chilli powder can be removed for children if too spicy.
A great recipe to get the children involved, using their hands to mix all the herbs and spices into the nuts. The adult takes charge of the oven.
