How to Make Sweet And Spicy Nuts
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the melted butter.
- Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely, about 1 minute.
- Add 2 cups walnuts, 2 cups pecans, 2 cups almonds (and optionally, 1 cup cashews and 1 cup peanuts).
- Stir continuously until the nuts are evenly coated with the butter mixture, about 2 minutes.
- Spread the nut mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the nuts are glazed and deep golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once completely cool, store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
