Ingredients

SERVINGS: 8 cups
  • 2 cups dry roasted cashews
  • 2 cups dry roasted almonds
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 2 cups walnut halves
  • 2 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chipotle pepper powder
  • 2/3 cup real maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Combine first eight ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat.

Melt butter in microwave (15-30 seconds depending on wattage). Whisk syrup into butter and pour over nut mixture. Toss with rubber spatula until all nuts are coated. Divide mixture between the two cookie sheets. Spread into single layer. Bake one sheet at a time for 10 minutes. Using spatula, mix the nuts, flatten back into single layer and bake for 8-10 more minutes. Repeat with remaining sheet of nuts.

Let nuts cool thoroughly, then remove from baking sheets and store in an air tight container.
