Sweet And Sassy Mixed Nuts Recipes

SWEET AND SASSY MIXED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F and prepare baking sheet. I like to line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, but you can grease your pan if you like.
• Combine brown sugar, cinnamon and cayenne, set aside.
• In a bowl large enough to accommodate nuts, whisk the egg white; add nuts, cranberries, sprinkle with sugar mixture and toss to coat. Spread onto prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container up to a week.

SWEET-AND-SPICY MIXED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Toss 1 cup blanched almonds, 1 cup pecans, 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, 2 Tbsp. rosemary leaves, 2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, 1 tsp. hot smoked Spanish paprika, and 1 tsp. kosher salt in a medium bowl. Roast on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until nuts are toasted, 20-25 minutes. Spread out on parchment paper, breaking up clusters. Let cool.
• Nuts can be candied 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

SWEET, SALTY, SPICY PARTY NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine walnut halves, pecan halves, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Slowly pour butter mixture over the bowl of nuts and stir to coat.
• Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
• Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts until the warm syrup coats every nut. Spread into a single layer, return to the oven, and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

SWEET AND SPICY NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Place the nuts on a large baking pan and bake in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes, taking care they do not burn. Remove from heat and let cool approximately 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, cumin, curry powder, cloves and cinnamon.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, place the nuts and approximately 1/2 the sugar mixture. When the mixture begins to melt, mix in the remaining mixture. Shake the pan until all the nuts are coated, about 5 minutes. Use a spoon to separate nuts that stick together. Remove from heat and cool on a lightly greased baking sheet or wax paper. Separate the nuts to prevent sticking.
