Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for toasting the nuts. While the oven heats, wash and prepare all your fresh fruits, slicing larger items like apples or pears into bite-sized pieces and ensuring berries are clean and dry.
2 In a medium bowl, combine the mixed nuts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoon of paprika. Toss everything together thoroughly until the nuts are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
3 Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 8-10 minutes, or until the nuts are fragrant and lightly toasted. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
4 While the nuts are roasting, arrange your assorted cheeses and gluten-free crackers or rice cakes on a large serving board or platter. Once the nuts are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes; they will become crispier as they cool.
5 Once the nuts have cooled, artfully arrange them on the cheese board alongside the prepared fruits and cheeses. Add any additional garnishes like fresh herbs if desired, and serve your beautiful gluten-free fruit and cheese board immediately for everyone to enjoy.
