Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the maple syrup and brown sugar until the sugar has dissolved completely, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the ground cinnamon, ground cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Place the mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the spiced butter mixture over the nuts and toss well to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the nuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden and fragrant.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet. As the nuts cool, they will become crisp while retaining their flavorful coating.
Step 8
Once cooled completely, transfer the spiced nut mix to an airtight container for storage or enjoy immediately. The mix can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
