Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 5 Tbsp granulated raw cane sugar*
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Optional: a pinch of cayenne for a bit of heat

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly to get the nuts coated evenly. Evenly spread mixture onto a lined, thick-bottomed baking sheet**. Use a spatula to scrape up any excess sugar/syrup that's still in the bowl.
  3. Bake for about 15 minutes, then flip the nuts, retossing them in the maple syrup mixture. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the sugar bubbles and starts to crisp up on the nuts. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 2 minutes, then use a spatula to break up the nuts to separate them before the sugar sets completely. Don't worry if it still looks a little wet or syrupy, as the pan cools, the sugar will harden.
  4. Store in an airtight container and snack away!

Notes

  • *You can use regular sugar if you'd like, but I wanted the flavour that unrefined/raw cane sugar has.
  • **Nuts can burn really easily and get a bitter, not so delicious taste, so I recommend using a good quality baking sheet that's fairly thick for even heat distribution. I also recommend lining it with a silicone liner like a Silpat for easy clean up and better heat diffusion.
