This spiced nuts recipe combines warm spices with sweet and salty flavors—the perfect nibble for holiday gatherings or a lovely homemade gift.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the oven to 275°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, cayenne pepper (if using), ginger, nutmeg, water, and corn syrup. Mix until evenly combined. Add the nuts and toss with spice mixture until evenly coated. Transfer the nuts to the prepared sheet pan and arrange in a single layer, making sure the syrupy spice mixture is evenly distributed. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the nuts are caramelized and lightly toasted. (To check for doneness, take a few nuts out of the oven and set them on a cool surface for a few minutes; if done, they will be dry to the touch.) Carefully slide or lift the parchment and nuts off of the hot baking sheet and onto a countertop; let cool completely. Break up the nuts with your hands. Store in an airtight container or mason jar in a cool, dark place for up to one week.
