Let the Holidays drive you nuts in a good way this year!


Recipe:

  • Prep: 15 min
  • Cook: 25 min
  • Yields:  8-10 Servings

 

Ingredients

Vegetable oil

3 cups whole roasted unsalted cashews (14 ounces)

2 cups whole walnut halves (7 ounces)

2 cups whole pecan halves (7 ounces)

1/2 cup whole almonds (3 ounces)

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

2 teaspoons ground chipotle powder

4 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves, divided

Kosher salt


Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a sheet pan with vegetable oil. Combine the cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the maple syrup, brown sugar, orange juice, and chipotle powder on in a bowl. Toss to coat the nuts evenly. Add 2 tablespoons of the rosemary and 2 teaspoons of salt and toss again.
  2. Spread the nuts in one layer on the sheet pan. Roast the nuts for 25 minutes, stirring twice with a large metal spatula, until the nuts are glazed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 2 more teaspoons of salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons of rosemary. Toss well and set aside at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking as they cool. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm or cool completely and store in airtight containers at room temperature.
