Nutmeg 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 that smells absolutely incredible as it bubbles in the oven. The sweetness comes from a combination of maple syrup and agave nectar, while melted coconut oil helps the coating cling to every curve and crevice of each nut. A pinch of cinnamon and sea salt keep things balanced, and the optional cayenne adds just enough heat to make the sweetness pop. Many store-bought glazed nut mixes sneak in warm spices that can be hard to track down on a label, so making your own batch at home puts you fully in control of every ingredient. The technique is straightforward — coat, spread, roast, and wait — but that final cool-down on the pan is where the magic happens, as the glaze hardens into a satisfying, crackly shell. Break apart the clusters and you've got a snack, a party appetizer, or a gift-worthy treat that tastes far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests.
