Mustard Free Vegan Maple-Glazed Roasted Nuts
Warm, caramelized, and impossible to stop snacking on, this mixed nut roast brings together cashews, pecans, almonds, and walnuts in a glossy glaze of maple syrup, agave, and coconut oil. A pinch of cinnamon and sea salt give every cluster that perfect sweet-and-savory balance, while optional cayenne adds a gentle kick for anyone who likes a little heat. Store-bought spiced nuts can be a minefield of hidden condiment-derived seasonings, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify — no surprises lurking in the mix. The technique is simple: coat, spread, roast, and resist the urge to eat them straight off the pan. Letting them cool undisturbed is the secret to that satisfying, crackling glaze that shatters when you bite in. They're equally at home in a holiday snack bowl, scattered over a salad, or tucked into a little bag as a homemade gift. Once you see how easy these are to pull off, the store-bought version will never seem worth it again.
