SPICED MIXED NUTS

Whenever I make a batch of these nuts, they get gobbled up instantly. I love watching people's expressions of surprise and delight when they eat them for the first time because the mix is so scrumptious, but no one can ever pinpoint what they are spiced with. The flavorings are a unique combination of aromatic curry powder and rosemary, with a hint of maple sweetness and a kick of cayenne heat. It is one of those flavor combinations you just can't stop thinking about long after you have eaten the last bite.

Ingredients
• 1/2 cup raw pecans

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Combine the nuts and seeds in a medium bowl. Add the maple syrup, spices,
