How to Make April S Healthy Snack Mix

- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the mixture. Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are lightly toasted and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Let the mix cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
