Ingredients

2 cup raw almonds
2 cup raw cashews
1/3 cup raw honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
sprinkle of kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the almonds and cashews together in a mixing bowl.
2 cup raw almonds, 2 cup raw cashews
Pour honey in a small microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds to a minute, just until it starts to bubble and become liquidy. Remove and add cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well.
1/3 cup raw honey, 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Pour honey mixture over the nuts, and mix well, until the nuts are well coated. Pour nuts on baking sheet, and spread around evenly.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the nuts are fragrant and nice and golden brown. Remove and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the top. Add another sprinkle of salt, and let cool for just a few minutes.
2 Tablespoons brown sugar, sprinkle of kosher salt
**IMPORTANT! As soon as you can handle them safely, break the nuts apart and remove from the parchment paper onto the pan itself. The nuts will stick to the parchment paper if you let them sit too long.

Notes

Make sure you break up the nuts and remove from the parchment AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, so they don't stick to the parchment paper. Then let them cool the rest of the way!
The spices are key to a sweet nutty taste with a slight spicy back-kick!
Baking time will vary by oven. Be careful to avoid burning, but you want them to be nice and golden brown.
Storing Tip - Keep them in the refrigerator during warmer months, and on your counter during colder months.
Freezing Tip - These will keep well in a freezer bag for up to three months. They are a perfect snack to make up ahead of time for your next gathering.
