Spiced, Glazed Pretzel & Nut Mix (David Leibovitz)
- 2 cups mixed raw nuts (untoasted); any combination of cashews, whole almonds, peanuts, pecan halves, and hazelnuts
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or another red pepper) I added some Ancho, too
- About 1/2 t Chinese 5 spice
- 1 1/2 T maple syrup
- 1 t flaky sea salt or kosher salt
- 2 cups small pretzel twists
- 1. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and roast in a 350F oven for 10 minutes, stirring once for even toasting.
- 2. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, and maple syrup.
- 3. Add the warm nuts, stirring until coated. Then mix in the salt and pretzels, and stir until the nuts and pretzels are completely coated.
- 4. Spread the mixture back on the baking sheet and return to the oven for 12-18 minutes, stirring twice during cooking. Remove from oven and cool completely, separating the nuts and pretzels as they cool right away!
- Once cool, this mixture can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
