Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Raw mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the honey, chipotle chili powder, ground cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and water. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined, and the sugar is dissolved. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Place the mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted butter and spice mixture over the nuts, stirring to coat them evenly.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the nuts to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the tray. They will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, break apart any clumps and transfer the Chipotle Honey Mixed Nuts to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or gift them to friends and family!
