I saw Giada DeLaurentis make these spiced nuts on her FoodNetwork television show. Oh My! They are heavenly, and the aroma that comes from the oven while they are toasting…. I can’t describe it. It took every ounce of my self control to not eat them the minute they came out of the oven.
This is a super easy recipe with wonderful results. The hardest part about it? Waiting until the nuts are completely cooled before eating them. Enjoy these as a snack, or Giada suggests serving at a cocktail party. Try them, you definitely won’t be sorry!
