Ingredients

• 4 cups Mixed nuts (unsalted, raw)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, and sea salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped rosemary.

Step 3

Place the mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the spiced butter mixture over the nuts and toss well to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet—they will crisp up as they cool.

Step 7

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy Bud's Spicy Nuts as a bold and satisfying snack!
