Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • cooking spray

  • 1 cup untoasted walnut halves

  • 1 cup untoasted pecan halves

  • 1 cup unsalted, dry roasted almonds

  • 1 cup unsalted, dry roasted cashews

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon butter


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.

  2. Combine walnuts, pecans, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne; toss to coat.

  3. Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Slowly pour butter mixture over nuts and stir to coat.

  4. Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.

  5. Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts to coat with warm syrup; spread out in a single layer. Return to the oven and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 more minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
