Nuts are a healthy and satisfying snack. My everyday routine is to eat a handful of raw almonds, but sometimes I crave a little something extra. That’s when I reach for these sweet and salty glazed pecans. I love the combination of maple and garam masala, but if you don’t have the spice blend you can substitute cinnamon.
