Another KAF winner. We love spiced nuts with that sweet, spicy flavor and this has it all. they also said to enhance the flavor of the nuts, you can toast them on the baking sheet for 7-9 minutes after you've transferred them from the pan.

Found this recipe in November 1996 Family Circle Magazine. I make these for gift baskets during the holidays, I used my Amber Maple syrup and found it was a great additon. The recipe says to allow to cool, but I'll bet you won't be able to resist a few warm from the oven, they are soooo doggone good.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 lb whole almond, blanched (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 lb pecans (2 cups)
1/2 lb peanuts, roasted unsalted (1 1/2 cups)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on your taste)
1/4 cup maple syrup

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat oil in large skillet (I use cast iron) over high heat. Add almonds; saute, stirring 2 to 3 minutes, until almonds begin to brown. Add pecans; saute 1 minute. Add peanuts; saute 1 minute more.
Lower heat to medium-high. Sprinkle nuts with salt, coriander, black pepper and cayenne pepper; toss to coat nuts.
Pour maple syrup over nuts, saute until syrup is evaporated and nuts are lightly caramelized, 1 minute. Spoon into 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan or cookie sheet.
Bake in 350 degree oven, tossing occasionally, for 30 minutes or until no longer sticky. Cool completely.

Tips:

Use fresh nuts. Fresh nuts will have a better flavor and texture than nuts that have been sitting around for a while.
Don't overcrowd the pan. When roasting the nuts, make sure to spread them out in a single layer. If you overcrowd the pan, the nuts will not roast evenly.
Roast the nuts until they are fragrant and golden brown. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on the nuts so that they don't burn.
Let the nuts cool before adding the spices. This will help the spices adhere to the nuts.
Store the nuts in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Maple-spiced nuts are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to other dishes. They are also a great gift idea. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and festive treat that everyone will love.
