You can double or tripe these amounts for a bigger batch. None of these measurements for the nuts have to be exact. Put in more of the nuts you really love.

4 oz cashew nut pieces
4 oz Macadamia nuts
5 oz pecan halves
5 oz walnut halves
3 oz whole almonds, skin on
4 oz pumpkin seeds
4 oz pistachio nuts
3 oz sunflower seeds
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup light brown sugar
4 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
6 tbsp avocado oil
2 tsp Kosher salt
6 tbsp minced fresh rosemary
2 tsp chipotle powder
1/2 tsp cayenne

Preheat the oven to 325F
Put all the ingredients in a very large mixing bowl and mix well with your hands
Transfer to a lined roasting tray or large cookie sheet and spread out the mixture evenly.
Roast for 15 to 17 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the nuts turn a dark brown.
Remove, stir in 1 tsp more of salt, taste and sprinkle with a little more cayenne pepper if you would like more of a kick.
Leave to cool in the tray, stirring from time to time.
Once cool, transfer to an airtight container.
