Roasted Cocktail Nuts

I bring these everywhere during the holidays - only problem is I tend to part ways with the bowls. The fix: transporting in a mason jar tied with ribbon.

Makes 3 cups

INGREDIENTS

1 cup each raw almonds, cashews and pecan halves

2 t canola oil

2 t kosher salt

1 T packed brown sugar, or maple sugar

1/8  t cayenne

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350. Place nuts in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast for 6-8 minutes or until fragrant.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the remaining ingredients. When the nuts are done roasting, add them the bowl and toss to coat. Allow to cool briefly before adding to serving bowls. They are great warm. Reheat if you like for about 5 minutes at 300.
