Rosemary Cashews
Homemade roasted rosemary cashews are the perfect festive holiday party snack to set out in pretty nut bowls to make your guests feel at home.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds cashews
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Spread the cashews in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 8 - 12 minutes, shake the pan half way through the cooking time so they roast evenly.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in the microwave and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar, fresh rosemary, cayenne pepper, and salt and stir until the sugar is dissolved in the hot butter.
- Pour the roasted cashews into the mixing bowl while they are still warm. Gently toss them in the seasoned butter until all the nuts are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated cashews into an even layer on large sheets of parchment paper and let them cool completely.
- Serve the seasoned cashews in pretty nut dishes or as part of a snack board. They may be kept in an airtight container on the counter for up to 1 week.
