This nut mix is the perfect combination of sweet and savory with homemade honey roasted peanuts and garlic cashews. It's perfect for your lunch box, a party, or just snacking at home.
In a mixing bowl, coat cashews in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add seasoning and stir with a spatula until the cashews are evenly coated.
Transfer cashews to one of the baking sheets.
Cook for 4 minutes. Remove from oven, stir, and return to oven. Cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. (Note: Keep a close eye on the nuts in the last couple minutes of cooking. Oven performances vary. You want the nuts to be brown, but not burned.)
Coat peanuts in 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add honey and brown sugar and stir until the peanuts are well-coated.
Transfer peanuts to one of the baking sheets.
Cook for 9 minutes, removing from the oven to stir at 3 and 6 minutes. (Similar to the cashews, keep a close eye on them in the last couple minutes of cooking to ensure they don't burn. It's OK if you have some burned bits of sugar and honey on the parchment paper, though.)
Remove the peanuts from the oven and toss in 4 teaspoons sugar.
Let nuts cool for about 10 minutes (until cool enough to handle). Transfer to a bowl and stir to combine. Allow to cool completely before storing.
Notes
These must cool completely before storing to avoid condensation forming in the storage container. Cooling completely will take 30 minutes to an hour.
