Preparation

Step 1

Chop or break big nuts into halves or smaller pieces. In a large bowl mix the spices together, then add the sugar and maple syrup and stir. Dump in the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Line two large baking pans with parchment paper and heat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray the parchment paper with oil and spread mixture evenly between the pans. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes on the middle rack, stirring once, until nuts are slightly brown. Watch these like a hawk when they're almost done so they don't over brown. Let pans cool for 10 minutes, then pull paper and nuts onto a rack or counter to finish cooling. The mixture hardens as it cools. Break into pieces.
