Toasted Maple Mixed Nuts

Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Course Appetizer, Snack
Servings 3 cups (a good sized bowl for a gathering)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup walnuts raw or dry roasted (no seasoning!)
  • 1 cup whole pecans raw or dry roasted (no seasoning!)
  • 1 cup whole almonds raw or dry roasted (no seasoning!)
  • 4 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2-3 pinches of kosher salt or fleur de sel

Instructions
 

  • Toast walnuts, pecans and almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant and browning slightly. Stir/toss frequently to ensure they don't burn.
  • With the heat still on, quickly drizzle the maple syrup over the nuts and toss to coat evenly.
  • Sprinkle a few pinches of kosher salt, toss once more and take off the heat. Important: once the maple is drizzled and the nuts tossed, don't let them cook any longer (this way they'll stay gorgeous and shiny). They really only need a few seconds to cook off the excess maple.
  • Tip nuts immediately onto parchment paper (NOT wax paper) to cool for at least 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

*Be sure to let them fully cool before storing in a sealed container or they won't have the right crunch at all.*
