A great snack for hungry crowds.

3 cups mixed nuts
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons butter

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Place the mixed nuts on a roasting tray and pop in the oven for 10–15 minutes until toasted and very hot.
3. While the nuts are cooking, mix the paprika, sugar, salt, and butter in a bowl.
4. Remove the nuts from the oven and pour into the bowl.
5. Toss together to coat with the spice mix—the butter should melt and the spices will stick to the nuts.
6. Stir to coat evenly.
