Sweet & Spicy Roasted Nuts

These nuts are a delightful combination of sweetness and heat, making them irresistible. The crunch, combined with the bold flavors, will make this snack a highlight at any event.

Sweet & Spicy Roasted Nuts ### Ingredients

2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup honey

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts. This can include almonds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts to create a nice variety of flavors and textures.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, olive oil, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined.
Pour the sugar mixture over the nuts and mix until they are evenly coated. Make sure every nut is covered with that sweet and spicy goodness!
Spread the coated nuts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. This ensures even roasting and crunchiness.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. You want them golden and fragrant!
Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Once completely cooled, transfer them to an airtight container. They can last up to two weeks… but trust me, they won’t last that long!

Enjoy these sweet and spicy roasted nuts as a snack on their own or serve them at your next party. They make a great addition to any cheese board too!
