Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups mixed raw nuts (untoasted); any combination of cashews, whole almonds, peanuts, pecan halves, and hazelnuts
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or another red pepper) [I added some Ancho, too]
[About 1/2 t Chinese 5 spice]
1 1/2 T maple syrup
1 t flaky sea salt or kosher salt
2 cups small pretzel twists

Steps:

  • 1. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and roast in a 350F oven for 10 minutes, stirring once for even toasting. 2. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, and maple syrup. 3. Add the warm nuts, stirring until coated. Then mix in the salt and pretzels, and stir until the nuts and pretzels are completely coated. 4. Spread the mixture back on the baking sheet and return to the oven for 12-18 minutes, stirring twice during cooking. Remove from oven and cool completely, separating the nuts and pretzels as they cool [right away!] Once cool, this mixture can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality nuts. This will ensure that your spiced nut mix is flavorful and crunchy.
  • Use a variety of nuts. This will give your nut mix a more interesting flavor and texture.
  • Toast the nuts before spicing them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Use a light hand with the spices. You don't want to overpower the flavor of the nuts.
  • Store your spiced nut mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help to keep it fresh and flavorful for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Spiced nut mix is a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy snack, give spiced nut mix a try. You won't be disappointed!
