1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to moderate (180°C/350°-375°F/4-5 gasmark); and line an oven tray with baking paper.
- In a large pan, combine the olive oil, paprika, maple syrup, garlic, salt flakes, chilli and pepper; stir over a low heat until the syrup has melted and the mixture is well-combined; add the nuts and stir until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture; spread on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally; remove and set aside to cool before serving.
- TIP: These Aussie Spiced Nuts can be made 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container. I cannot advise as to how they'd last beyond the two days as I cannot even imagine them lasting that long!
