By lisalang

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil
• 3 cups whole roasted unsalted cashews
• 2 cups whole walnut halves
• 2 cups whole pecan halves
• 1/2 cup whole almonds
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 teaspoons ground chipotle powder
• 4 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves, divided
• Kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

When I have a little extra time before a party, I'll whip up a batch of these really delicious nuts. They're sweet, salty, and spicy-with lots of brown sugar, maple syrup, chipotle powder, and fresh rosemary. Roasting is the process that brings out the most flavor in nuts, and serving them warm is a particularly nice touch.

Chipotle chile powder is different from ordinary chili powder — it's ground dried smoked jalapeños and has a distinctive hot, smoky, sweet flavor.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
