Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Stir in the brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper (if using). Continue stirring until the mixture is well combined and slightly bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Place the mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl and pour the butter and spice mixture over the nuts. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the coated nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the nuts to an airtight container for storage or serve them immediately as a snack.
