Chile-Honey Roasted Nuts from Food & Wine
MAKES ABOUT 4 CUPS
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup sugar (or Sugar in the Raw)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup honey
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound unsalted roasted mixed nuts (about 4 cups)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 325°. Line a rimmed baking sheet
with parchment or wax paper. Lightly oil the
parchment. In a bowl, combine the sugar with the salt.
In a large skillet, melt the honey with the cayenne.
Add the nuts and stir to coat. Spread the nuts in a
single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 10
minutes. Let the nuts cool slightly, then add them to
the sugar-salt mixture and toss to coat. Discard the
parchment and spread the nuts out on the baking sheet
to cool completely, then transfer to a bowl and serve.
MAKE AHEAD The nuts can be stored in an airtight
container for up to 4 days.
NOTES Cooking Club Tip: Use coarse turbinado sugar
(like Sugar in the Raw) and kosher salt to give these
nuts extra crunch.
Traca's note: I used a combo of brown sugar and Sugar in the Raw. People really liked the crunch from the raw sugar. Next time I'll try raw sugar only.
