Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- spoon or spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Airtight container
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 2 cups pecans halves
- 2 cups walnuts
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 cup peanuts
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper only if spicy is desired
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir well to evenly coat.
- Add the Honey and Butter: Gently melt the butter and stir it into the nut mixture along with the honey. Keep stirring until all the nuts look glossy and well-covered.
- Spread on Baking Sheet: Pour the mixture onto the parchment-lined sheet. Spread it out in a single, even layer for consistent roasting.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Watch closely during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
- Cool Completely: Let the nuts cool on the tray—this helps the sugar coating harden into a delicious crunchy shell.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.
Tips
- Toast for flavor: Toast the nuts in a skillet before coating to deepen the flavor.
- Swap in maple syrup: Use maple syrup instead of honey for a rich twist.
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a sweet heat profile.
- Use parchment: Prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Watch your bake time: All ovens vary, so check often in the last few minutes!
