Helpful Tips

If you’re new to toasting nuts, keep a close eye on them as they can go from perfectly toasted to burnt quickly. Stirring halfway ensures even cooking.

Storage Instructions

Store the cooled nut mix and dried mango in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have all the nuts listed, you can substitute with other varieties like walnuts or pecans. If mango isn’t your favorite, try dried apricots or cranberries for a different flavor profile.

Pairings

This snack pairs wonderfully with a refreshing lemonade or a hot cup of spiced tea. It also complements a cheese platter beautifully if you’re hosting a get-together.
