Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F fan forced.

In a large bowl, combine all the jerky mix ingredients. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Place the jerky mix in between sheets of baking paper and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a large rectangle until about 3mm thickness.

Remove the top baking sheet and transfer the flatten jerky mix onto a baking tray (leaving the bottom baking sheet).

Cook in the oven for 15mins. Then take it out, flip it and put it back in the oven to cook for another 10mins.

In the meantime, in a small bowl, mix your honey and warm water and set aside.

After the 10mins, take the jerky out of the oven and transfer it onto a new baking sheet.

Using a brush, coat the top side of the jerky with the honey water mixture, then put it back in the oven for 5mins.

Then take it out, flip the jerky and coat the other side. Put it back in the oven for another 5mins.

If you'd like the jerky a bit more charred, leave it to cook for a few more minutes. Otherwise, take the jerky out, cut into slices and enjoy!
