How to Make Sugared Spiced Nuts

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the nuts to the bowl and toss gently until they are evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even browning and prevent burning. Nuts are done when they are golden brown and fragrant.
  6. Remove from oven and let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet. This allows the sugar to fully set.
  7. Once cooled, transfer the sugared spiced nuts to a zipper-top bag or airtight container for storage. They'll stay crunchy for several days (if they last that long!).
