Equipment

Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil

Ingredients

3 cups Deluxe Mixed Nuts Or nuts of your choice
2 tablespoon Melted Butter or Olive Oil
2 tablespoon Maple Syrup
2 tablespoon Finely Chopped Fresh Rosemary OR 2 teaspoon chopped Dry Rosemary
1 ¼ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 Sprig Fresh Rosemary
Nonstick Cooking Spray

Instructions

Measure all of your ingredients - except the sprig of rosemary - into a mixing bowl, gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Rip 2 long sheets of foil, form an X with them, and spray the center generously with cooking spray.
Mound the nut mixture in the center of the foil, top with the sprig of rosemary.
Pull the ends of the foil strips up and to form a loose - but sealed - foil packet. (See post for photos) Set aside.
Get a low to medium fire going.
Grill over the fire - flipping every few minutes - for 10 minutes or so. I like to use tongs to give the packet a good shake every once in a while, to keep everything distributed and prevent burning.
Once the nuts are heated through and glazed, remove from heat.
Taste, season with additional salt if desired, and serve warm!

Oven Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, line a large cookie sheet an with parchment paper, set aside.
Mix the nuts with the remaining ingredients - aside from the sprig of rosemary - and spread out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Let the nuts bake for 15-20 minutes, giving them a good stir every 5 minutes or so.
When the nuts are heated through, glazed, and just a little sticky, remove from the oven.
Allow to cool a bit before serving - while they’re tasty when warm, they harden up into more of a candied nut after cooling.

Notes

Once cooled to room temperature, these spiced nuts can be transferred to an airtight container - We usually use a Ziplock baggie or Mason jar.

In a tightly sealed container, they’ll keep for a month or two at room temperature - in theory. We’ve never been able to keep leftovers around for more than a couple of days!
