Preheat oven to 300ºF. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss nuts together. Whisk together oil, syrup, rosemary, sugar, paprika, chipotle and salt. Pour mixture over nuts and stir to combine.

Spread nuts in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until nuts start to brown and become aromatic, about 10 minutes. Remove tray from oven. Stir nuts and return tray to oven for another 10 minutes. Watch carefully when nuts have started to brown as they can go from golden brown to burnt fairly quickly. Remove nuts from oven and let cool before serving. Store in a sealed container.
