Lactose Free Vegan Maple-Glazed Roasted Nuts

Warm, caramelized, and just a little addictive, this mixed nut roast brings together cashews, pecans, almonds, and walnuts in a glossy glaze of maple syrup, agave, and coconut oil. The combination of cinnamon, sea salt, and optional cayenne creates that perfect sweet-heat balance that makes it nearly impossible to stop at one handful. Because every ingredient here is entirely plant-based, there's no butter, cream, or dairy of any kind to worry about — the coconut oil does all the work of carrying the glaze and helping it set into that satisfying, crackling shell. Roasting low and slow at 325°F lets the sugars deepen into a rich amber without scorching, though the recipe smartly warns you to keep a close eye in those final minutes. Once the nuts cool undisturbed on the pan, the glaze hardens into a crisp, shatteringly good coating that clings to every curve and crevice. Break apart the clusters, toss them in a bowl, and try not to eat them all before your guests arrive.
