Roasted Maple Nuts
This recipe for roasted maple nuts has been my favorite holiday treat for years. I can eat it, still feel good, and the healthy sugar only makes it taste better.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 C almonds (use all raw nuts)
- 1 C pecans
- one C walnuts
- 1 C cashew pieces
- one C pumpkin seeds (the green raw kind)
- 1/2 C Sucanat or Florida Crystals (dried cane juice)
- 1/2 C Pure Maple Syrup (don’t settle for the fake stuff)
- 1 tsp cinnamon or 1 to 2 drops cinnamon essential oil
- one tsp chili powder mix
- 1 tsp allspice
Instructions
- Chop or break big nuts into halves or smaller pieces.
- In a large bowl mix the spices together,then add the sugar and maple syrup and stir.
- Dump in the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Line two large baking pans with parchment paper (it’s oh so easy to clean afterward) and heat your oven to 350°.
- Lightly spray the parchment paper with oil and spread mixture evenly between the pans.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes on the middle rake, stirring once, until your roasted maple nuts are slightly brown. Watch these like a hawk when they’re almost done so they don’t over brown.
- Let pans cool for 10 minutes, then pull paper and nuts onto a rake or counter to finish cooling. The mixture hardens as it cools. Break into pieces.
