Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth and uniform.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and use a spatula to toss and coat them thoroughly in the spiced mixture.
Spread the coated nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure the nuts roast evenly.
Remove the nuts from the oven when they are golden brown and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet, as they will crisp up as they cool.
Once fully cooled, transfer the spiced nuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
