Spicy Sweet Party Nuts
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup untoasted walnut halves
  • 1 cup untoasted pecan halves
  • 1 cup unsalted, dry roasted almonds
  • 1 cup unsalted, dry roasted cashews
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients and prepare the oven for baking.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if using a different measuring system).
3
Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent the nuts from sticking.
4
Combine walnuts, pecans, almonds, and cashews in a large container. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; mix well to coat the nuts evenly.
5
Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to simmer until the butter is fully incorporated and the sugar dissolves, taking approximately 1 minute.
6
Gradually pour the warm syrup mixture over the nuts and stir to coat them evenly.
7
Transfer the nut mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a single, even layer.
8
Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir the nuts gently to coat them with the warm syrup; then spread them out in a single layer.
9
Return the nuts to the oven and continue baking until they are sticky, roasted, and fragrant, taking about 6 more minutes.
10
Once the nuts have finished baking, allow them to cool down completely before serving.
11
Allow the nuts to cool down thoroughly before serving.
