With just a handful of pantry staples like unsalted mixed nuts, honey, butter, and a touch of cinnamon, this recipe comes together in under 15 minutes using your microwave—no oven required! A hint of vanilla elevates the flavor, while a final dusting of sugar creates that crave-worthy caramelized coating. Perfect for holiday gifting, party platters, or mid-day munching, these honey-roasted nuts are as versatile as they are delicious. Plus, they store well for a week, making them your new go-to snack for on-the-go energy or satisfying cravings.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the honey and butter.
Microwave the honey and butter mixture on high for 30 seconds, or until the butter is melted.
Stir in the salt, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Spread the coated nuts into an even layer on a microwave-safe plate lined with parchment paper.
Microwave the nuts on high for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes to ensure even roasting. Watch closely toward the end to prevent burning.
Once done, carefully remove the plate from the microwave and immediately sprinkle the granulated sugar over the warm nuts, tossing to coat evenly.
Let the nuts cool completely on the plate. As they cool, they will become crisp and crunchy.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
