Sweet, savory and spicy, this nut mix is a perfect appetizer accompaniment, snack or holiday gift!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound unsalted mixed nuts, preferably raw: almonds, walnut and pecan halves, peanuts
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper. Add the nuts to the mixture and toss well to coat. Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes; then stir and roast another 5 to 7 minutes, remove to a heat-proof bowl and allow to cool. Break up any nuts that are stuck together.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with fruit and cheese, sparkling cider, or cocktails. Make an extra-large batch and package in small jars you decorate for a homemade holiday gift.
