Satisfy a snack craving with these sweet, 3-ingredient honey roasted maca walnuts!

Nuts are the ultimate hunger-busting snack. Portable, crunchy and filling, they’re perfect for busy people on the go. This recipe is easy to make in large batches ahead of time, so you can satisfy those cravings all week long.

Roasting nuts brings out their aroma and intensifies their flavor. The right level of heat gently toasts these walnuts while locking in the honey and maca flavor. You can use almonds or cashews if you prefer, but I love how honey nestles in between the nooks and crannies of a walnut!

The 3 ingredients in this recipe are powerful on their own, but even more so when combined.

• Walnuts are naturally high in omega-3 fatty acids, which boost brain function and protect the heart.
• Raw honey is full of enzymes and minerals with antibacterial properties, which are especially beneficial during cold and flu season.
• Maca (not to be confused with Matcha, which is a form of green tea) is a root that resembles a beige beet or rutabaga. Mild tasting and slightly bitter, this superfood is hailed for its ability to balance hormones, improve menopause symptoms, reduce depression and relieve anxiety.

To make these honey and maca glazed walnuts, combine ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well to coat. Pour onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and evenly spread. It’s okay if some of the nuts get stuck together – they’ll create yummy nut clusters! Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to carefully toss nuts and bake for 5 minutes longer. Set in a cool dry spot for 20 minutes to allow honey mixture to set.

Other ways to use maca:

• Add a teaspoon to smoothies
• Mix a teaspoon into pancake batter
• Stir half a teaspoon into chia pudding
