Remove from heat and sprinkle with the remaining salt. You can serve them warm, they will be slightly soft but crisp as they cool.

Notes

I’ve been experimenting with sugars, and if I make something that the sugar replacement works just as well as real sugar then I stick with it.

Monk fruit sugar is a natural sweetener that you can find at most grocery stores or health food stores. It makes these nuts keto friendly, but if that doesn’t matter to you, sugar can be used instead.

I really like the PC Black Label spice mixes. I find them to be reasonably priced and good quality. And when it comes to spice mixes, I can’t be bothered buying 10 different spices and mixing them together. Especially when this one works so well.
