Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed nuts (unsalted)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and honey. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the butter is fully melted.

Step 2

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the mixture until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt to the butter mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 4

Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spiced butter mixture.

Step 5

Place the bowl back into the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes. Remove and stir the nuts to ensure even coating.

Step 6

Microwave for an additional 2-3 minutes, pausing to stir every minute, until the nuts are fragrant and slightly toasted. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 7

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot) and spread the spiced nuts out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

Once the nuts have cooled and the coating has hardened, transfer them to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage.

Step 9

Enjoy your Microwave Spiced Nuts as a snack or party treat!
