Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ½ Cups Raw, Unsalted Nuts (- any variety or varieties you love! (pecans, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, almonds))
2 TBS Unsalted Butter
2 tsp Pure Maple Syrup
2 heaping TBS Fresh Rosemary (- finely chopped (can substitute 2 1/4 tsp Crushed Dried Rosemary))
1 TBS Light Brown Sugar (- heaping and packed)
1 tsp Cumin
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
2 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
scant ¼ tsp Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Optional for finishing: 1 TBS Turbinado Sugar (Sugar in the Raw) (and/or 2 tsp Flaked Sea Salt (Maldon))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.
  • Melt butter: Melt butter using the stovetop or the microwave (directions below)!(In the Microwave) Place butter in the microwave- safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Continue to microwave at 50% power for 10 second increments until just melted. Stir in the rosemary and set aside for 1 minute. Stir in the maple syrup. Set aside.(On the Stovetop) In a medium sized sauté pan, over medium low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup. Set aside.
  • Season nuts: Place the nuts in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar, cumin, cayenne, salt and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
  • Add butter to nuts: Pour the butter over the nuts. Stir and toss to completely coat. Transfer the seasoned nuts to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single even layer.
  • Bake: Bake nuts for 10 minutes. Remove and stir, arranging nuts into a single layer. Return nuts to oven and continue to roast for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until they are aromatic and light golden in color (they will get darker upon sitting).
  • OPTIONAL (for more flavor!): While the nuts are still hot and fresh out of the oven (on the pan), sprinkle the Turbinado sugar and flaked sea salt evenly over the nuts.
  • Cool: Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and stir the nuts, spreading them back out into an even single layer once. Set aside and allow the nuts to cool on the pan for 15 minutes.
  • Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl or a container with a tight fitting lid for storage. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole almonds
2 cups pecan or walnut halves
1 1/2 cup pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)
Optional but so good: 2 tablespoons finely snipped or chopped fresh rosemary (from 4 big sprigs)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt*
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (reduce or omit if sensitive to spice)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat so the maple syrup doesn't get stuck to the pan (this is important). Pour the almonds, pecans and pepitas onto the pan and set it aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the optional rosemary (or any other added seasonings), maple syrup, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and cayenne (if you using). Gently whisk until blended.
  • Pour the mixture over the nuts on the prepared baking sheet. Stir well, until all of the nuts are lightly coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer across the pan (the maple syrup will pool on the bottom of the pan, but that's okay).
  • Bake, stirring after the first 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter, until almost no maple syrup remains on the parchment paper and the nuts are deeply golden, 23 to 26 minutes. (The maple syrup coating will be a little sticky right out of the oven, but will harden as the pecans cool.)
  • Remove the pan from the oven and stir the nuts one more time, spreading them into an even layer across the pan. Let them cool down for about 10 minutes, then, while the nuts are still warm, carefully separate any large clumps (this may or may not be necessary).
  • Let the nut mixture cool completely on the pan. These will keep for up to 2 months in a sealed bag at room temperature.

ROSEMARY SPICED NUTS



Rosemary Spiced Nuts image

These lightly-spiced cocktail nuts are a cut above the store bought sort. Cayenne adds kick, brown sugar balances the salt and fresh rosemary provides an unexpected woodsy note that really makes them something special. They're fancy enough to toss into a shiny cellophane bag, tie with a bow and give as a gift.
