Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Combine the almonds, coconut, ras el hanout, chilli, turmeric, maple syrup, rose syrup and salt and place on a baking tray. 

Place the tray in the oven and roast. Once the coconut and nuts are roasted, remove the tray from the oven, transfer the spicy nuts to a dish and serve.

Cook’s note: Ras el hanout is a North African spice mix that usually contains cardamom, paprika, peppercorns, fenugreek and turmeric, and sometimes dried rosebuds. It can be found at all good delis and spice shops.
