Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups raw mixed nuts, 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Toss thoroughly to coat all nuts evenly.
- Step 3: Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 4: Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
