I find this technique much easier than the stovetop pan method. You'll get beautiful, perfectly frosted nuts that are roasted evenly, with no bitter burned spots. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1 cup untoasted walnut halves |
1 cup untoasted pecan halves |
1 cup unsalted, dry roasted almonds |
1 cup unsalted, dry roasted cashews |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup water |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2. Combine walnut halves, pecan halves, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat.
3. 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.
4. Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
5. 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.
