Rosemary Roasted Nuts
Posted: Dec 19, 2009 11:56 pm
I make these every Christmas and they are always a hit.
I like to add a little heat so I add about an 1/8 to a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne to the pan.
Rosemary Roasted Nuts
Serves 8.
* 2 cups mixed nuts, such as cashews, walnuts, and pecans
* 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
* 1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
* Kosher salt
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, roast nuts until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat butter, sugar, and rosemary and cayenne (optional) over medium-high. Add nuts; stir until butter mixture is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Spread nuts on prepared baking sheet; season with salt. Cool to room temperature, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes.
