Nuclear Nuts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine walnut halves, pecan halves, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Slowly pour butter mixture over the bowl of nuts and stir to coat.
• Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
• Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts until the warm syrup coats every nut. Spread into a single layer, return to the oven, and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the maple syrup in large skillet over medium-high heat until it is thin, add the spices,stir until blended, and immediately add the peanuts stirring well, and often until all peaunuts are thoroughly coated with syrup and spice.
• Remove from heat and let cool.
• They should not be too sticky when they are cooled, if so, you have used too much maple syrup.
• Add more or less spice to suit your needs.
• I find the combo in this recipe to be spicy, but bearable.
