Spiced Nuts
• 2 1/2 cups mixed nuts (I use pecans, almonds, and walnuts)
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 3/4 tsp chili powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• ½ tsp sweet paprika
• ¼ tsp cumin
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp allspice or cloves
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Mix everything in a bowl, except the nuts, and heat in microwave for 10 seconds. Add nuts and stir to coat. Spread evenly over a baking sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for 8 minutes. Stir, and bake another 3-5 minutes. Be careful as they burn easily, so keep your eye on them, but make sure to cook them long enough or they won't be crunchy. It's a very fine balance, but you will get used to it with practice. Let them sit 5 minutes, then pull them off the baking sheet and place on a clean piece of foil to dry. Store them in the fridge or freezer.
