Spicy Candied Nuts

"I like the idea of sweet AND savory. I saw the recipe in O magazine. However, I have offered a few other options. Remember, cooking is all about choice.....every time. The recipe specified raw nuts.....however use what you've got! Mix it up use other nuts. Add other savory herbs. . Use a different zest. Use all honey or try some agave."

directions

  • Read the description, all of it. Make choices to suit you.
  • Preheat oven to 325. Put silpat on a baking sheet or line it with parchment.
  • Combine the nuts in a bowl.
  • In the largest bowl that will go in the microwave, just heat the honey, molasses and zest, maybe 10-20 seconds. Stir in the rosemary, cayenne, and paprika. ALTERNATIVELY just heat it all in a large enough pot to stir in all the nuts.
  • Mix in the nuts covering with all that goodness.
  • Spread the nuts on your prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the sugar, evenly over the top. Sprinkle half the salt. Bake in the center of the oven for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned -- that sugar will caramelize. Right after you take them out of the oven, sprinkle the 2nd half of the salt.
  • Let cool, completely, about an hour. Break nuts apart and serve or place in an airtight container.
