Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the raw almonds, pecans, cashews, pistachios, and pumpkin seeds in a large mixing bowl and stir gently.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, dried rosemary, curry powder, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the syrup mixture over the mixed nuts and stir to ensure each nut is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until golden and toasted.
  7. Once golden, sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm, if desired.
  8. Allow the spiced nuts to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container.

Allow the spiced nuts to cool entirely before storing; this prevents moisture from causing stickiness. Adjust cayenne pepper to control heat levels for your preference.
