Ingredients

2 1/4 cups (18-ounces) assorted unsalted nuts, including peeled peanuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans and whole unpeeled almonds
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons Maldon or other sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Toss the nuts in a large bowl to combine and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden brown, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt and melted butter.

Thoroughly toss the toasted nuts in the spiced butter and serve warm. And once you eat these, you will never want to stop.

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

OMG, who knew simple nuts could be this good! Good, fresh rosemary makes these absolutely addictive. Although I've used these... as a great holiday gift, I think these nuts are perfect for a hot summer afternoon or evening. With a cold beer, lemonade or iced tea, these nuts are the perfect accompaniment to a baseball game or bbq.Read more

I was looking for something to give to friends that was quick and easy and this fit the bill. Male friends loved them,... returning the empty tin with a pleading look. I made a much larger quantity than the recipe and it worked well. Plan to make more tonight - so good!Read more

Ina did this years ago
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This is the same recipe Ina did years ago and you can find in her Paris cook book. It is great but I kind of resent the Food... Channel letting two chefs do the exact same thing. Ina even credits the same restaurant. I mean, come on!Read more

Sadly, not that good....
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I really wanted to like these. They did not have good flavor and stuck together in a weird way. I'll keep to my old way of... making hot nuts: melt some butter in a pan on the stove, add nuts to warm and toast (almonds and cashews are a good mix), then add salt, cayenne, and a garlic pepper blend. They'll do you right every time.Read more
