Spicy Sweet Mixed Nuts

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Walnut halves
  • 4 cups Macadamia nuts
  • 4 cups Pecans
  • 8 Tbsp. Butter, melted That's 1 stick.
  • 8 Tbsp. Honey
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp. Curry, mild
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp. Cumin
  • 4 tsp. Ancho Chili
  • 4 tsp. New Mexica Chili
  • 1 tsp. Chili de Arbol This Chili is hot so use more if you like super spicy.
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 4 tsp. Cinnamon I think this is what made this mix so special!

Instructions

  • Mix all the spices together in a small bowl. This makes about 3/4 cup of spices.
  • Heat oven to 275 degrees.
  • Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. You may need two pans depending on their size as you want the nuts to lay flat in a single layer.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add honey. Heat until just bubbling. Remove from the heat.
  • Place all of the nuts in a large bowl. Add the mixed spices to the nuts and mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
  • Mix the spiced nuts into the melted butter/honey and stir to coat all nuts evenly. It will look like more spice than you need, but that it what makes these nuts so good and goopy with spice. They get heavily coated with the spice as they bake in the butter and honey.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until nuts get nice and toasty. Take out of the oven.
  • Finish with flaky salt like Maldon or Fleur de Sol.
