Ingredients
1 cup raw unsalted cashews
1 cup raw unsalted walnuts
1 cup raw unsalted almonds
1 cup raw unsalted pecans
2/3 cup maple syrup
1 rounded tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
-
In a large bowl, add all of the nuts, maple syrup, kosher salt, cayenne pepper, and chopped rosemary. Mix everything thoroughly.
-
Evenly spread out the nut mixture onto a 13 X 18 baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, stir the nuts, and then evenly spread them into a single layer again. (careful not to burn yourself) Put the nuts back into the oven for another 7 minutes.
-
Remove the nuts from the oven once again. The hot maple syrup will be much thicker and bubbly. If you think the nuts need to brown a bit more, mix and spread out the nuts one last time. Bake for another 2-3 minutes.
-
Once you’ve removed the nuts from the oven for the last time, sprinkle with a little more kosher salt while they’re still warm.
-
Let the nuts cool. They’ll cool quicker if you pull the parchment paper with the nuts off of the baking sheet and onto a cooling rack.
-
Once the nuts have cooled, serve them in a pretty little bowl. Store the remaining nuts in a container.
