Sunnys Easy Rosemary And Thyme Toasted Nuts Recipes

SUNNY'S ROASTED ROSEMARY AND THYME POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Cut the potatoes in quarters lengthwise. Using a paring knife and plenty of patience, cut each quarter into 1 or 2 torpedo- or oval-shaped pieces. Place in a large bowl of cold water while you finish the rest.
• Add the potatoes to the boiling water and blanch for just under 4 minutes. (This really depends on the size of your potatoes, but be sure to not cook them for potato salad; this is just to get them slightly tender--you shouldn't be able to get a fork through them. The oven will do the rest.) Remove the potatoes from the water to a paper towel-lined plate until slightly cooled.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Pour the potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle over enough olive oil to coat all sides. On a large baking sheet with sides, add the thyme and rosemary (whole) to make a bed of sorts. Pour out the potatoes onto the sheet and space them evenly so the air can circulate as they roast. Season the entire sheet with a pinch of salt.
• Roast the potatoes until golden brown on the edges and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.

ROSEMARY WALNUTS

Steps:

• Place walnuts in a small bowl. Spritz with cooking spray. Add the seasonings; toss to coat. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet., Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Serve warm, or cool completely and store in an airtight container.

BROWN-BUTTER NUT MIX WITH ROSEMARY AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until brown and fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until melted. Continue cooking until butter becomes fragrant and golden brown, taking care not to burn. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together sugar, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, and rosemary; mix in brown butter. Add nuts and toss to combine. Return nuts to baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until nuts are semidry, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

SUNNY'S EASY ROSEMARY AND THYME TOASTED NUTS

• In the same pan, add the almonds and toast for 1 minute. Add the pecans and toast for an additional minute. Add the walnuts and continue to toast until the nuts are fragrant and feel warm to the touch, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the nuts into a large bowl and season with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle with the herb/paprika mixture, drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat. Serve warm.
