Ingredients

  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • ½ cup hazelnuts
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast the 1 cup sesame seeds and 1/2 cup hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Stir constantly until the honey coats the seeds and nuts and the mixture clumps together, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Transfer the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press it into a flat, even layer about 1/2 inch thick using a spatula or another sheet of parchment.

  4. 4

    Let cool until firm, about 10 minutes, then break into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

  5. 5

    Optional: sprinkle with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary before cooling for a savory twist.
