Recipe: Spiced Nut Mix

These spiced nuts combine a variety of nuts and seeds with buttery maple syrup and fresh rosemary, creating a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy treat you can easily customize.

Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds
• 1 cup cashews
• 1/2 cup peanuts
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced (can substitute with any spices you like)
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Note: I use roasted and salted nuts and seeds. If using raw or unsalted, add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the recipe.

Directions

• Heat oven to 325 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the maple syrup doesn’t stick.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and melted butter with spices.
• Add the nuts and mix well.
• Pour the nut mixture onto the parchment paper and spread out into an even layer.
• Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, until the nuts start to brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Store in a closed container at room temperature.
