Rosemary Roasted Nuts Recipes

SWEET, SAVORY & SPICY ROASTED NUTS

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!

CHIPOTLE AND ROSEMARY ROASTED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a sheet pan generously with vegetable oil. Combine the cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the maple syrup, brown sugar, orange juice, and chipotle powder on the sheet pan. Toss to coat the nuts evenly. Add 2 tablespoons of the rosemary and 2 teaspoons of salt and toss again.
• Spread the nuts in one layer. Roast the nuts for 25 minutes, stirring twice with a large metal spatula, until the nuts are glazed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 2 more teaspoons of salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons of rosemary. Toss well and set aside at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking as they cool. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm or cool completely and store in airtight containers at room temperature.
