Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and honey. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the butter is fully melted.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt to the butter mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spiced butter mixture.
Place the bowl back into the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes. Remove and stir the nuts to ensure even coating.
Microwave for an additional 2-3 minutes, pausing to stir every minute, until the nuts are fragrant and slightly toasted. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot) and spread the spiced nuts out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Once the nuts have cooled and the coating has hardened, transfer them to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy your Microwave Spiced Nuts as a snack or party treat!
