Wheat Free Vegan Maple-Glazed Roasted Nuts

Roasted nuts are one of those snacks that feel fancy but come together with almost no effort, and this maple-glazed version is genuinely hard to stop eating. Cashews, pecans, almonds, and walnuts get tossed in a glossy mix of maple syrup, agave, and melted coconut oil before hitting the oven, making every single nut a little sticky, a little sweet, and just warm enough with a hint of cinnamon. The optional cayenne adds a subtle kick that plays beautifully against the caramel-like glaze — totally worth it if you like that sweet-heat thing. Because the whole recipe is built around whole nuts and naturally grain-free pantry staples, there's nothing to swap or substitute; it's already completely free of wheat and gluten by nature. Store-bought glazed nuts can be a minefield of hidden coatings and shared-facility warnings, so making your own means you know exactly what went into the bowl. The hardest part is waiting the full ten minutes for the glaze to harden into that satisfying, crackly shell — but it's absolutely worth it. These are perfect for snacking, gifting, or scattering over a salad when you want something a little extra.
