Ingredients
2 ½ Cups Mixed Raw Nuts (pecans, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, macadamia, almonds)
2 TBS Unsalted Butter
2 heaping TBS Fresh Rosemary – finely chopped
1 TBS Light Brown Sugar
1 tsp Cumin
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
2 tsp Sea Salt
¼ tsp Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
1 ½ tsp Pure Maple Syrup
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.
2. Season nuts: Place the nuts in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar, cumin, cayenne, salt and black pepper. Set aside.
3. Melt butter: (On the Stovetop) In a medium sized sauté pan, over medium low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup.
4. (In the Microwave) Melt butter in the microwave. Stir in the rosemary and set aside for 1 minute. Add in the maple syrup.
5. Add butter to nuts: Pour the butter over the nuts. Stir and toss to completely coat.
6. Bake: Transfer the seasoned nuts to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until nuts are toasted and light golden in color, about 10-15 minutes, tossing once halfway through baking.
Cool: Allow the nuts to cool on the pan for 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl or a container with a tight fitting lid for storage. Enjoy!
