How to Make Sweet And Salty Nuts

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups mixed nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, almonds), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until nuts are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the nut mixture in the prepared baking pan in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and bubbly.
  5. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup raw sugar.
  6. Toss gently to coat the nuts evenly.
  7. Transfer the nut mixture to a large piece of foil to cool completely (about 30 minutes).
  8. Once cooled, break the nuts apart. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
