Can you believe that is only 5 more sleeps till Christmas??
How is that possible?
I thought I would make one last holiday treat for you, Sweet
& Spicy Mixed Nuts.
It is always nice to have something a little savory to
nibble on when there is so much sweet stuff happening around the holidays.
These nuts are so good, just a hint of sweetness and a touch
of heat, with a nice mix of sweet and savory flavor.
What you need,
3 cups mixed nuts; I used almonds, cashews, pecans, pumpkin
seeds
(You want to use unsalted nuts because you are going to add
all the flavor you need.)
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1½ tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground ginger
¼ tsp. ground cloves
½ tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. ground cumin
3 tsp. flaky sea salt, divided
½ tsp. cracked black pepper
In a large cast iron skillet melt the butter and sugars
together over medium heat. Add the
cinnamon, ginger, cloves, chili powder, cumin, 1½ tsp. salt and pepper to the
melted butter mixture.
Cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
Add the nuts to the pan and stir well to coat all the nuts
with the butter and spices. Cook the
nuts, stirring often for 10-13 minutes until the nuts get lightly golden brown.
Transfer the nuts to a wax paper lined baking sheet and
spread into a single layer to cool.
Break apart the nuts and store in an airtight container for
up to 2 weeks. They won’t last that
long, I assure you!
All I want to say is grab a glass of your favourite holiday beverage
and a little bowl of these delicious nuts and enjoy!
