Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, cashews, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
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, combine brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, ground cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, vanilla extract, and water.
Step 3
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted and the ingredients are fully combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Place the mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the syrup mixture over the nuts and stir until all the nuts are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring the nuts halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on them toward the end to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. They will harden as they cool.
Step 8
Once completely cooled, transfer the Sweet Savory Nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
