Sweet and Spicy Roasted Nuts
These sweet and spicy roasted nuts are perfect for gifting, snacking, or adding to a charcuterie board when entertaining.
I’m a big fan of nut mixes, growing up we always had mixed nuts on our table during the holiday season. They were always in a bowl on the table with the nutcracker ready and waiting. These Quick Maple Glazed Pecans are a family favorite.Â
