Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (minced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then stir in the dry sherry, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt. Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mixed nuts and pour the butter-spice mixture over them. Stir well to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting, until the nuts are golden and fragrant.
Remove the nuts from the oven and immediately sprinkle the minced rosemary over them. Gently stir to distribute the rosemary evenly.
Allow the nuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the nuts to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
