I will never forget when I started my catering company and offered sweet and spicy peanuts as one of the gift items. I had to toss peanuts for days, but they were delicious! Although I don't suggest that you mix quite as many as I did in the early years of my career, I do suggest you toss a few of these delights for the occasion. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
6 cups whole, blanched almonds |
1/3 cup honey |
2 teaspoons smoked paprika |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
2 teaspoons cumin |
2 teaspoons cayenne |
2 tablespoons salt |
4 tablespoons sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. 2. Heat a large sauté pan on high, and add olive oil. Add almonds to pan, toast for 1 minute stirring often, and reduce heat to low. Continue to stir until the almonds are light golden brown, 6-7 minutes. Add honey and spices, salt and sesame seeds and stir to coat evenly.
3. 3. Spread nuts out evenly on to a large sheet tray and place in the oven until honey is dry, 10-15 minutes. Allow nuts to cool before serving.
