Five Spice Oven Roasted Nuts

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.

2. 2

   Place the nuts in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, five spice powder, chili powder, salt, and orange juice to form a thick paste. Use a rubber spatula to scrape every last bit of the spice paste into the nuts, and toss to coat.

3. 3

   Transfer the nuts to a baking sheet, and spread evenly.

4. 4

   Bake the nuts for 10 minutes, then stir well to make sure they're not sticking to the bottom of the pan. Rotate the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, and stir again. Reduce the heat to 300u00b0F and bake for 10 minutes, until the nuts are dry and crunchy.

5. 5

   Remove from the heat and allow the nuts to cool to room temperature. They will become crunchier as they cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. If the nuts start to soften, crisp them up on a baking sheet in a 300u00b0F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
