Ingredients
1 cup walnuts
1 cup pecans
1 cup almonds
1 cup cashews
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons butter
Method
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and give it a light spray of cooking oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine walnuts, pecans, almonds, and cashews. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne, then toss to coat the nuts evenly.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix together sugar, water, and butter. Stir until the butter has melted and the sugar is dissolved, which should take about a minute.
Drizzle the melted butter mixture over the nut blend, ensuring that every nut is well coated by stirring thoroughly.
Spread the nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After that, give the nuts a good stir to redistribute the syrup and then return them to the oven for another 6 minutes or until they're sticky and golden brown. Let them cool completely before serving.
