Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Place the mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt until fully combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and, if desired, stir in the finely chopped rosemary for an herby nuance.
Pour the spiced butter mixture over the nuts in the mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the coated nuts evenly in a single layer on the lined baking sheet.
Roast the nuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden and fragrant.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the cooled nuts to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or party appetizer!
