Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ½ Cups Raw, Unsalted Nuts (- any variety or varieties you love! (pecans, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, almonds))
2 TBS Unsalted Butter
2 tsp Pure Maple Syrup
2 heaping TBS Fresh Rosemary (- finely chopped (can substitute 2 1/4 tsp Crushed Dried Rosemary))

1 tsp Cumin
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
2 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
scant ¼ tsp Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Optional for finishing: 1 TBS Turbinado Sugar (Sugar in the Raw) (and/or 2 tsp Flaked Sea Salt (Maldon))

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!

Tips for Making Savory Roasted Nuts:

  • Choose the right nuts: Not all nuts are created equal when it comes to roasting. Some nuts, like almonds and pecans, have a naturally mild flavor that can easily absorb other flavors, while others, like walnuts and cashews, have a stronger flavor that can stand up to bolder seasonings.
  • Use fresh nuts: Fresh nuts will have a better flavor and texture than nuts that have been sitting around for a while. Look for nuts that are free of mold and blemishes.
  • Roast the nuts at a high temperature: Roasting the nuts at a high temperature will help to bring out their natural oils and give them a crispy texture. The ideal temperature for roasting nuts is between 350°F and 400°F.
  • Season the nuts while they're still warm: The warm nuts will be more receptive to seasonings, so add them while the nuts are still warm from the oven. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
  • Let the nuts cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent the nuts from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Savory roasted nuts are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to a variety of dishes. They're a great way to add a little extra flavor and texture to your favorite recipes. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own savory roasted nuts at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give roasted nuts a try.
