Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons rosemary (chopped fresh or dried)
- 1 egg white (large)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. This will help the spices and sugar stick evenly to the nuts.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl with the egg white and stir to coat fully.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and rosemary. Warm the mixture until fully combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Pour the butter-spice mixture over the nuts in the mixing bowl, tossing well to coat evenly.
Spread the coated nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the pan, stir the nuts, and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the nuts are golden and fragrant. Be careful not to overcook as the sugar can burn quickly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the pan. The coating will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the Sweet Savory Spiced Nuts to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks. Serve as a snack, party appetizer, or salad topping!
