These roasted party nuts are sweet, spicy, and perfectly crunchy, making them a delicious and addictive snack or appetizer for gatherings and holidays.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups mixed raw nuts (such as pecans, almonds, cashews, and walnuts)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (reduce for less heat)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter or olive oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, salt, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
  3. Add the nuts to the bowl and toss until they’re evenly coated with the mixture.
  4. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Watch closely in the final minutes to avoid burning.
  6. Remove from oven and stir the nuts on the pan to prevent sticking. Let cool completely—they will crisp up as they cool.
  7. Once cooled, break up any clumps and transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

  • Use any combination of raw nuts you prefer.
  • Adjust cayenne for more or less heat.
  • Nuts will continue to crisp as they cool; don’t overbake.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
