Ingredients
2-½cupsmixed raw unsalted nuts I used pecans, walnuts and cashews
2tablespoonsbutter
1teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspooncayenne
1/2teaspoonground cumin
1/2teaspoonall spice
1teaspoondried rosemarycrushed
¼cupmaple syrup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread nuts out in an even layer on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes.
Prepare the spice mixture by stirring spices into 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Then add maple syrup and cook on low heat for a minute or two.
Remove nuts from oven and put in a large bowl. Pour the spice mixture over the nuts tossing well to coat.
Spoon the nuts back onto the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Note - by minimizing the extra glaze on the baking sheet, the nuts are less likely to stick together in clumps. Allow the nuts to cool once done baking.
Store in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Notes
If you can't find raw nuts or have one or more types of roasted salted nuts on hand, wait to add them during the glazing step. Then bake them along with the rest of the nuts during this final step.
