Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups unsalted mixed nuts ((such as walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, and almonds))
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper or a silicone baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the nuts and toast, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn golden and smell nutty and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the butter and cook while stirring, until the nuts begin to darken, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the spices, brown sugar sugar, water, and salt. Cook while stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens and the nuts are glazed, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the nuts from the heat and transfer to the prepare baking sheet, separating them with a fork.
  • Let the nuts stand until cooled and the sugar has hardened, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
