Spiced Nuts

Ingredients

• 4 cups Mixed Nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews)
• 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Rosemary (fresh, finely chopped)
• 1 Egg White (optional, for extra glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Water (if using egg white)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the mixed nuts, maple syrup, coconut sugar, olive oil, sea salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and rosemary.

3. 3

   If using the egg white, whisk it with the water in a separate small bowl until slightly frothy. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the nut mixture to coat evenly.

4. 4

   Spread the nut mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

5. 5

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.

6. 6

   Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The nuts will crisp up as they cool.

7. 7

   Break apart any large clumps and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
