Spiced and roasted nuts are a tradition around the Christmas season. My family loves all kinds of nuts, but I couldn’t keep their hands out of the bowl when I created this mixture! This recipe combines a unique flavor combination of spicy and sweet that is downright addictive. If you want to add a little zing to your snacks or next party, think about trying these Spicy Sweet Nuts. Enjoy!
Spicy Sweet Nuts
2 tsp. olive oil
3/4 cup natural walnut halves
3/4 cup natural pecan halves
1/2 cup natural whole almonds
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. ground cayenne
1 TBS. light brown sugar
Heat the olive oil over low-medium heat.
Add the nuts and spices and cook for 8-10 minutes
until golden and fragrant, stirring often.
Crumble the brown sugar over the nuts and heat
for another 3 minutes until the sugar has melted and covered the nuts.
These can be served warm or cool.
(give them about 15 minutes to cool if serving warm so that
no one burns their tongue).
Will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for one week.
(if you have any left!)
Enjoy!
