Peg's Salt Savory Spiced Nuts

Ingredients

  • 2-1/4 cups (18-ounces) assorted unsalted nuts (E.g., raw peanuts, cashews, walnuts, pecans and almonds)
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (If you really like spicy, adjust cayenne up to ½ tsp. according to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Peg’s Salt
  • 1-1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt and melted butter.
  • Thoroughly toss the toasted nuts in the spiced butter while still warm. Mix with rubber spatula to keep nuts intact while coating them.
  • Return nuts to baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until nuts are semidry and the spice mixture slightly caramelizes, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

Nuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
