Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

vegetable oil or cooking spray, for baking sheet
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from one 7-ounce can chipotle chiles in adobo, reserve chiles for another use)
1 cup unsalted roasted pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)
1 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Lightly brush with oil or coat with cooking spray.
  • Cook sugar, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a heavy medium saucepan over high heat, stirring, until sugar just dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes.
  • Cook about 1 minute more, swirling the pan, until syrup is light amber.
  • Carefully stir in adobo sauce (hot syrup will spatter), and cook 30 seconds.
  • Remove pan from heat.
  • Add pepitas, peanuts, and cayenne, stirring to coat.
  • Immediately pour onto baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with remaining salt.
  • Let cool completely, and break into pieces.
