Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, etc.)
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture becomes smooth and well combined. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Place the mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and stir well to coat them evenly.
Spread the coated nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not clumped together for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure an even roast.
Once the nuts are golden brown and fragrant, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as they cool.
Optional: While the nuts are still slightly warm, sprinkle with a touch of sea salt for added flavor.
Transfer the cooled nuts to an airtight container for storage, or enjoy them immediately as a sweet and crunchy snack!
