These nuts combine the perfect blend of salty and sweet, and hot and spicy. It’s an easy way to make simple mixed nuts a special treat.
Warning: they can be addictive!
Spiced Nuts
1 1/4 pounds of mixed unsalted nuts (you can buy them mixed or create your own combination)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon (or more to taste) cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons coase salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
Toast the nuts in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and and toss the warm nuts in the mixture until evenly coated.
Enjoy!
Tip: Nuts go from warm to burnt very quickly. Check on them frequently, and shake the pan from time to time to avoid burning them.
