Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F, 325°F fan) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Spread the mixed nuts and mini pretzels on the prepared sheet and toast for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden.

  3. While the nuts are still hot, combine rosemary, cayenne pepper, dark brown muscovado sugar, salt flakes, and melted butter in a large bowl; toss to create a glossy glaze.

  4. Add the toasted nuts and pretzels to the bowl and toss thoroughly so every piece is evenly coated.

  5. Transfer the coated bar nuts to a serving dish and let cool to room temperature; store in an airtight container for up to several weeks.

Tips while you cook

Stir halfway
Stir the nuts and pretzels once at the 5‑minute mark.
Glaze while hot
Combine the glaze ingredients and toss the nuts while they are still hot for best coating adhesion.
Cool before storing
Allow the coated bar nuts to reach room temperature before transferring to an airtight container.
