However, you might use already roasted nuts and skip this step.
Place in the oven until they are lightly golden brown and smell toasty, about 8 minutes.
Remove from the oven (leaving the oven on) and set aside.
Simple Tip!
If youre using already roasted nuts, you’re free to skip this step.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Add the brown sugar and maple syrup and reduce the heat to low.
Pour the butter and spice mixture over the toasted nuts.
Use a rubber spatula to toss the nuts to ensure they are all equally coated.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for 8 minutes.
Let the nuts cool completely.
As they cool, they will go from slightly sticky to very crisp.
