Ingredients:

  • 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts. Pour the melted butter over the nuts and mix well to ensure they are evenly coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, ground cinnamon, and sea salt (if using).
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered nuts. Stir until all nuts are thoroughly coated.
  5. Spread the coated nuts evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and fragrant.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
