These nuts infused with rosemary and brown sugar are perfect for the holidays or entertaining.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups roasted, unsalted mixed nuts, such as pecans or cashews
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less or omit if you don't like heat)
- 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Combine nuts on baking sheet and toast in oven until warm, fragrant and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine rosemary, cayenne pepper, brown sugar and butter. Add the warm, toasted nuts to the spiced butter and toss well. Add kosher salt and toss to coat thoroughly. Serve warm.
- Note: You can use any combination of cashews, whole unpeeled almonds, peeled peanuts, pecans, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts or whatever suits your taste; just keep in mind that pecans work particularly well because their crevices hold the seasoning. You can also use raw unsalted nuts for this recipe, just be sure to toast them a bit longer, about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.

These are delicious! I didn’t have Rosemary so I used Thyme. Very tasty. I’m taking it to a social-distance party this weekend and I’m sure everyone is going to love it. Making copies of this recipe for everyone. Glad I found this recipe!
Whenever I make this (which is quite often) I include the roasted chickpeas as well. It’s a terrific combination and the chickpeas add a different kind of crunch. So delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!
This recipe is perfection! I’ve made this multiple times for parties, and usually I’m hogging my own bowl. I followed the recipe, and I wouldn’t change a thing! Its incredibly addictive.
These are delicious and addicting. I reduced the amount of cayenne because I am a wimp when it comes to heat. There is a little kick but it balances really nicely with the sweetness. The rosemary is bright and adds a surprise to the nuts.
A delicious treat! I’ve also made this by adding Trader Joes marcona almonds which are rosemary seasoned and it was a fantastic addition.
My husband loves nuts (and so do I) so I had to try these. Boy, are they good! The only problem I had was trying to get the rosemary chopped finely enough. It makes quite a large batch so we had scrumptious eating for over a week.
These are the tastiest nuts! I also tried the Gramercy Tavern nut recipe from your site but prefer these because of the fresh rosemary (I add heaping tablespoons because I love the woody taste). These make a great holiday gift for friends and neighbors but an even better snack to stash in the pantry.
this was just the thing I needed for our happy hour party…everyone left with a little tin filled with the mix along with a copy of the recipe…thanks for sharing
Great holiday gift idea!
I have been on a fresh rosemary kick lately, so I will have to make these soon.
