Recipe courtesy of Food Network, modified just a bit

Ingredients

  • 2-1/4 c - assorted unsalted nuts
  • 2 tbs - coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves (VIP)
  • 3/4 tsp - cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp - dark brown sugar
  • 2 tsp - sea salt
  • 1 tbs - unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Toss the nuts in a large bowl to combine and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden brown, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt and melted butter.

Thoroughly toss the toasted nuts in the spiced butter and serve warm. Obsess.

These keep really, really well for about a week. If I am taking to a party and want them to still be warm, I line a cookie tin with foil, and make the nuts just before I hit the road. The cookie tin will keep them nice and warm for quite some time.
