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.

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 AND SPICY ROASTED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and set aside. Combine the cashews, walnuts, almonds and pepitas in a large bowl and toss to combine. Whisk together the egg white, water, sugar, salt, cayenne and chipotle pepper and cinnamon. Drizzle mixture over the nuts and toss to combine, making sure they are evenly coated. Transfer nuts to prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Roast in oven for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven; separate the nuts as they cool. Once they are completely cooled, transfer to an airtight container.

SPICY MIXED NUTS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add nuts and Worcestershire sauce; cook and stir 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Place nuts in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients; sprinkle over nuts, tossing to coat. Cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

• 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.

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!
