Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed nuts (pecans, almonds, walnuts, etc.)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
Step 3
Add the mixed nuts to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the glaze.
Step 4
Spread the glazed nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on the nuts during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
Step 6
Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as they cool.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the glazed nuts to an airtight container for storage or enjoy immediately.
