Maple Spiced Nuts
When the holidays roll around you are going to be invited to more than a few parties and if you are looking for a fun dish to bring then you can’t go wrong with some spiced nuts. Most spiced nuts are not a healthy option - loaded with butter or sugar.
This is a nice healthy alternative that has some flavor complexity with a subtle balance of sweet from the maple syrup, a touch of heat from the chile de arbol and then some hints of savory that only a good curry powder can provide.
Best of all this is a super simple recipe that can also be used for office parties or if you want to give a flavorful gift made in your kitchen.
