Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons NŌK CHOC hot cocoa mix (choose your preferred flavor)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts with melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and NŌK CHOC hot cocoa mix.
- Add ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and sea salt to the nut mixture. Toss until the nuts are evenly coated with the cocoa-spice blend.
- Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the nuts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Once cooled, break apart any clusters and transfer the Cocoa Roasted Nuts to an airtight container.
- Enjoy as a snack, sprinkle over salads, or share these delectable treats with friends and family!
