Spicy Nuts

This is the easiest spicy nut recipe I have ever made--AND the fastest.

• Ready In: 21 mins
• Yields: 3 cups

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons butter
• 3  cups  nuts, any kind
• 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• 1  tablespoon paprika
• 3  teaspoons  dried chipotle powder (or any kind)
• 3  teaspoons cumin
• 2  teaspoons kosher salt
• 1⁄4 cup key lime juice (little Mexican limes)

Directions

1. Melt butter in large skillet.
2. Add nuts and cook about 5 minutes on medium low, stirring the nuts. Add brown sugar and stir until sugar is slightly caramelized.
3. Add paprika, chile powder, cumin and salt. Stir until well coated, a couple of minutes.
4. Add lime juice and, with a spatula, push nuts around, being sure to get the fond off the bottom of the skillet. When lime juice has evaporated, pour nuts on cookie sheet and bake 6 minutes at 350 degrees.
