METHOD

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cashews, almonds, pecans, and peanuts. Combine the coconut sugar, coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper in a small mixing bowl. Toss the nuts in the dressing until well combined. Spread the nuts out on the baking sheet and season with salt.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the nuts are golden brown and glazed, stirring twice with a spatula. Allow them to cool completely before placing them in small paper bags, jars, or a large airtight container. The nuts will keep for 4 to 5 days at room temperature.
