Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Chipotle chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional cayenne pepper (for extra spice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, brown sugar, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the ingredients are well combined and a smooth glaze forms.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the mixed nuts to the skillet, tossing thoroughly to coat them evenly with the glaze.
Spread the glazed nuts in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, the glaze will harden and form a delightful crunch.
Once cooled, transfer the nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week.
