Gluten-Free Snacks: Spiced Nuts or Agave Candied Spiced Nuts

Ingredients:

Optional 1:
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, grape seed oil, etc. (Do not use flax oil, as cooking it will releases carcinogens.)
• 2 tablespoons agave syrup
• 1 tablespoon filtered water
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional) (I didn't use any.)
• 1/4 cup raw pecans
• 1/4 cup raw pistachio nuts
• 1/4 cup raw almonds
• 1/4 cup raw walnuts
Option 2:
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, grape seed oil or flax oil
• 1/4 cup raw almonds
• 1/4 cup raw pecans
• 1/4 cup raw walnuts
• 1/4 cup raw pistachio nuts
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
• Pinch or two of stevia (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix spices together and set aside.
2. Add all liquid ingredients to a frying pan (preferably non-stick, if making candied walnuts), and bring to a boil (or if using just oil, warm on medium high).
3. Add nuts and stir; sprinkle spices and toss to coat evenly.
4. Cook for 5 minutes or until agave syrup thickens, stirring constantly.
5. Pour onto a sheet of aluminum foil (lightly greased, if making candied walnuts). Separate candied nuts before or after they harden.
