Spread nuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.
5
Toss the nuts, drizzle on the agave, toss to coat, spread nuts back into even layer. Bake for additional 5 minutes.

Test every 5 minutes until they are done, mine were mostly big cashews and took another 5 to 10. To test I place a few nuts on a small dish and pop it in the freezer for a min, when they are cool you can tell how crunchy they are.

Finish with the flaky sea salt and let them cool in an even layer. When they are completely cool you can jar them for your next cocktail party!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
