Spicy Pistachios Recipes

SPICED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spread the nuts out on a large baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are lightly toasted, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Transfer the nuts to a serving bowl. Pour in the butter and toss to coat evenly. Serve warm or room temperature.

SWEET & SPICY ROASTED PARTY NUTS

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.

SWEET, SALTY, SPICY PARTY NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine walnut halves, pecan halves, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Slowly pour butter mixture over the bowl of nuts and stir to coat.
• Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
• Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts until the warm syrup coats every nut. Spread into a single layer, return to the oven, and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

SPICED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Beat egg white until soft and foamy. Combine all remaining ingredients except pecans; whisk into egg white. Stir in pecans until well coated; spread mixture in single layer onto an ungreased baking pan.
• Bake pecans for 15 minutes, then remove from oven. Using a metal spatula, toss, stir, and separate nuts. Reduce oven to 250 degrees and return nuts to bake until medium brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; toss, and stir again. Place baking pan on wire rack to cool (they will crisp as they cool). Break up any that stick together.

• In a bowl, stir together the first 5 ingredients.
• Add in the pistachios; toss to coat.
• Arrange nuts in a single-layer on a lightly greased 15x10 inch jellyroll pan.
• Bake in a 350° oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes.
• Arrange in a single layer on waxed paper; let cool.
• Store in airtight container.

SPICY NUTS

Steps:

• Place a large dry skillet over medium heat, add the nuts and toast for 5 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, shaking the pan often to prevent scorching. Add the butter and continue to stir until melted and the nuts are well coated. Sprinkle in the cinnamon, cumin and cayenne and toss for another minute.
• Spread the nuts out on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with the salt and sugar; allow to cool. Serve immediately or store the spicy nuts in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

SPICED PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Line a shallow baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper.
• Stir together sugar, salt, and spices in a small bowl.
• Cook pistachios in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until a shade darker, about 5 minutes.
• Stir sugar mixture into nuts and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until sugar begins to melt and coats nuts evenly, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer nuts to baking pan and cool.

SWEET AND SPICY ROASTED NUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Set aside. Place the nuts in a large bowl.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add in the honey, brown sugar, and Dan-O's seasonings. Stir to combine.
• Drizzle the melted seasoned butter over the nuts and toss to coat. Pour the nuts onto the prepared baking sheet. Roast the nuts in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the nuts turn slightly golden brown.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let the nuts cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or up to 4 weeks in a container in the refrigerator.
