Ingredients
- 2 lbs mixed nuts
- 4 Tbs unsalted butter
- 2 Tbs hot honey or regular if you can’t find some
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large lipped baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add the nuts to a large bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the butter and honey over medium heat until melted. Add in the spices and whisk to combine.
- Pour the butter mixture over the nuts and toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the nuts out on the prepared pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Notes
- If using unsalted nuts, use salted butter or add ½ teaspoon of salt.
- For the holidays, add a few sprigs of rosemary to the pan for additional flavor while the nuts roast.
- Garnish with minced herbs or flakey salt, if desired.
- I use mixed nuts, but this recipe can use any combination of nuts or just one kind as long as it’s 2 lbs worth.
- Up to 2 tablespoons of brown sugar can be added if you want a stronger sweet heat flavor.
