Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
-
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Add the mixed nuts to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes, until the nuts are lightly toasted and fragrant.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
-
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the nuts in the skillet and stir well to coat the nuts evenly. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the sugar has melted and coated the nuts.
-
Transfer the sugared nuts to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.
-
Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the sugar has caramelized and the nuts are golden brown, stirring halfway through.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sugared nuts cool completely on the sheet. As they cool, the sugar coating will harden, giving the nuts a satisfying crunch.
-
Once cooled, break apart any nuts that may have stuck together and store the sugared nuts in an airtight container at room temperature.
