Spiced maple syrup nuts provide a delightful and flavorful twist on your typical nut mix. Combining the warm, cozy flavors of gingerbread spices with the rich, natural sweetness of maple syrup, this recipe is perfect for holiday gatherings or just enjoying as a wholesome snack. The blend of almonds, pecans, cashews, pistachios, and macadamia nuts ensures a satisfying crunch in every bite.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, spice mix, and ground ginger. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the almonds, pecans, cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, and macadamia nuts to the bowl. Toss well to coat all the nuts evenly with the spiced maple syrup mixture.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly spaced to allow for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the nuts for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and do not burn.
Keep an eye on the nuts during the last few minutes of baking. They should be golden and fragrant but not burnt. The maple syrup should become caramelized and form a sticky coating on the nuts.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, the maple syrup coating will harden, giving the nuts a delicious crunch.
Once cooled, you can enjoy these spiced maple syrup nuts immediately. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They can last for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- For a more pronounced gingerbread flavor, you can add a bit more ginger or spice mix according to your taste.
- Make sure to stir the nuts periodically while baking to ensure they are evenly coated and toasted.
- Allow the nuts to cool completely before storing to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- For an added touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the nuts after they come out of the oven.
- Feel free to customize the nut mix based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
Your spiced maple syrup nuts are now ready to be enjoyed. Whether you're serving them at a festive holiday party or simply snacking on them at home, these nuts are sure to please with their unique blend of spicy warmth and sweet maple goodness. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
