Sweet, Salty, Spicy Party Nuts image

I find this technique much easier than the stovetop pan method. You'll get beautiful, perfectly frosted nuts that are roasted evenly, with no bitter burned spots.

SPICED CASHEW-COCONUT BRITTLE



Spiced Cashew-Coconut Brittle image

Flavored with black pepper, cinnamon, and coconut, this cashew brittle shatters lightly when you bite into it, thanks to baking soda, which unleashes tiny air bubbles as it cooks. It's also open to improvisation: You can swap in popcorn and peanuts, dip it in tempered chocolate, or sprinkle it with flaky sea salt.

Time 50m

Yield Makes 15 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable-oil cooking spray, for sheet and spatula
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups roasted unsalted cashews
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Spray a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Spray an offset or other metal spatula. Stir together baking soda, cinnamon, and pepper. Combine sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 cup water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling pan occasionally, until mixture is golden, about 8 minutes.

Quickly spread into an even layer with spatula. Let cool and harden completely, at least 30 minutes. Break into pieces; store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 month.

Vegetable oil
3 cups whole roasted unsalted cashews (14 ounces)
2 cups whole walnut halves (7 ounces)
2 cups whole pecan halves (7 ounces)

1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

Combine the cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the maple syrup, brown sugar, orange juice, and chipotle powder on the sheet pan. Toss to coat the nuts evenly. Add 2 tablespoons of the rosemary and 2 teaspoons of salt and toss again.

Serve warm or cool completely and store in airtight containers at room temperature.
