How to Make Sweet And Spicy Mixed Nuts
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large, nonstick skillet, melt ¾ cup (170g) of butter over medium heat.
- Add ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons water, ¼ teaspoon salt, and your choice of spices (see notes for suggestions).
- Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 4 cups (approximately 500g) of mixed nuts (see notes for suggestions).
- Stir to coat the nuts evenly in the melted butter and sugar mixture.
- Cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid slightly thickens and coats the nuts.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the nuts to the prepared baking sheets, leaving excess syrup in the pan. (Don’t pour the nuts directly onto the sheets; this will result in uneven cooking.)
- Spread the nuts in a single layer on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the glaze is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets before storing.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
