SPICY CHIPOTLE PEANUTS

Steps:

• For the chipotle spice blend: Mix together the sugar, chipotle powder, coriander, cumin, lime zest, granulated garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the nuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with oil.
• Put the egg white in a large bowl and whisk until frothy. Add the peanuts and toss to coat in the egg white. Add the spice blend and toss to coat.
• Spread the nut mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet, then transfer to a large bowl.

FEEJ'S SWEET & SPICY CHIPOTLE NUTS

Steps:

• Beat egg white until stiff peaks.
• Drizzle honey into the egg whites while still mixing.
• In a separate bowl, mix chipotle powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper & sugar together.
• Mix all 6 cups of your favorite nuts in the egg white - honey mixture until well coated.
• Pour spice mixture over the nuts & mix until well combined.
• Pour nuts into pan, spreading evenly & bake in 350 oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and fragrant. You will want to stir the nuts a couple of times, about every 7 minutes.
• Remove from pan & allow to cool.

CHIPOTLE AND ROSEMARY ROASTED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a sheet pan generously with vegetable oil. Combine the cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the maple syrup, brown sugar, orange juice, and chipotle powder on the sheet pan. Toss to coat the nuts evenly. Add 2 tablespoons of the rosemary and 2 teaspoons of salt and toss again.
• Spread the nuts in one layer. Roast the nuts for 25 minutes, stirring twice with a large metal spatula, until the nuts are glazed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 2 more teaspoons of salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons of rosemary. Toss well and set aside at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking as they cool. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm or cool completely and store in airtight containers at room temperature.

SPICY CHIPOTLE PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; rub lightly with oil.
• Put the egg white, lime zest, sugar, chipotle powder, coriander, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl. Beat with a fork to combine. Add the peanuts and toss to coat.
• Spread the spiced peanuts on the prepared baking pan in a single layer. Bake until dry and a shade darker, about 15 minutes. Cool completely before adding the cilantro.

CHIPOTLE HONEY ROASTED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Stir together the sugar, chipotle powder, chili powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl; set aside.
• Stir together the butter, honey, and kosher salt in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted, and the mixture is bubbly. Stir in the peanuts until well coated, then pour out into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until the nuts are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Stir the mixture 2 or 3 times to ensure even cooking. Once done, scrape the peanuts into a large metal bowl, and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Toss the peanuts to evenly coat with the spice mixture. Allow the peanuts to cool to room temperature, tossing every few minutes so the nuts do not stick together.

CHIPOTLE SPICED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a dry skillet or comal over medium heat, toast the chipotle chile pod for 3-4 minutes on each side. A toasted chile will turn a slightly darker shade of brown and be crazy (good) fragrant. Remove and allow to cool. Once the chile is cool enough to handle, cut off and discard the top and slice town the body of the chile. Tear out the seed column and remove all loose seeds. Tear the remaining chile skin into smaller pieces and grind to a fine powder in a spice mill.
• Meanwhile, place the nuts in a large bowl and top with the olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, ground mustard and chipotle powder. Toss well (I used clean hands) until the nuts are evenly coated, and pour onto a large, rimmed baking sheet. I opted to line my baking sheet with parchment paper just to make clean up a little easier, but parchment is not required.
• Bake nuts for 10-15 minutes. Finished nuts will be golden and crazy (good) fragrant. Remove, cool and serve or package.
