SWEET & SPICY ROASTED PARTY NUTS



Sweet & Spicy Roasted Party Nuts image

These party nuts are a little sweet and a little spicy. They're completely irresistible! Be sure to buy unsalted, raw nuts for this recipe. Feel free to make it your own-I love to add fresh rosemary! Recipe yields 5 1/2 cups mixed nuts.

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.

WET NUTS ICE CREAM TOPPING



Wet Nuts Ice Cream Topping image

Even plain vanilla or chocolate ice cream is special with this topping. Buying this at the store is so expensive! Make your own and save. Store in the refrigerator; keeps for several weeks. Cooking time included in preparation time because of stirring. If you like the texture to be a bit crunchy, bake the nuts in a 350ºF oven for 5-7 minutes first. NOTE: Adding a tablespoon of Wet Nuts to your morning bowl of oatmeal is an easy way to sweeten it and add texturel!

Time 55m

Yield 4 cups nuts

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1 large egg white
4 cups mixed roasted salted nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the cayenne, cinnamon, ginger, mustard powder, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Whisk the egg white in a large bowl until frothy. Toss in the nuts, then add the spice mixture and toss until well coated.
  • Spread the nuts on the prepared baking sheet; bake until dry, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Hot: These nuts are a not-too-spicy crowd pleaser. Cayenne, ginger and mustard powder give them mild heat.
  • Hotter: Add 2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder to the spice mixture, then continue as directed.
  • Hottest: Add 2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder to the spice mixture, then continue as directed. While the nuts are baking, fry 4 thinly sliced serrano chile peppers in 350 degrees F canola oil until crisp, about 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and toss with the nuts.

SWEET, SALTY, SPICY PARTY NUTS

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.
