Nuclear Nuts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine walnut halves, pecan halves, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Slowly pour butter mixture over the bowl of nuts and stir to coat.
• Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
• Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts until the warm syrup coats every nut. Spread into a single layer, return to the oven, and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 300˚ F. Whisk the egg white in a medium bowl until foamy. Add the pecans and almonds; toss well. Add the thyme, sage, brown sugar, salt, smoked paprika and cayenne; toss well.
• Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Add the nuts and spread out in an even layer. Cook, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and glazed, 7 minutes. Let cool completely.
