2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Mix spices. Heat nuts in a dry skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to toast (about 4 minutes). Transfer nuts to a small bowl and set aside. Add butter, sugar, water, and spices to the hot skillet and cook, stirring until glaze forms, about 1 minute. Return nuts to skillet and toss to combine. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until nuts are glazed and golden brown. Transfer to baking sheet lined with foil, separated with a fork, and let cool. Store in an airtight container.
