’Tis the season – Spiced Granola Nuts

These are so fantastic as a snack or with cocktails before dinner or a party, but more importantly they are perfect as a gift. You can make them weeks in advance, as they keep for about two months.

Stir in the granola mixture and toss, making sure all the nuts are well coated. In a small bowl, mix together the honey and olive oil and drizzle over the nuts. Toss together one last time. Place the nuts on a parchment-lined sheet and bake until crisp and the nuts are toasted through, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely before wrapping.
