  2. In a heavy skillet, melt butter and cook the nuts for about 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.
  3. Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the nuts and continue cooking for about 8-10 minutes until the sugar caramelizes. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Once done, transfer the nuts to a large cookie sheet or platter to cool, then serve.

Notes

  • If you like, any choice of dried herb can also be added to flavor these nuts such as dried rosemary, oregano etc.
  • You can also increase or decrease the amount of paprika as per your choice or use cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes in its place.
  • These nuts can be made 4-5days ahead and store in airtight container.
