2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or more to your preference and taste)

  • Return the pecans to the oven for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven again and add the salt and the other 2 tablespoons of butter.

  • In a small bowl, mix the rosemary, cayenne and brown sugar.
  • Remove the pecans from the oven and toss the pecans lightly with the rosemary and sugar mixture, while they are still warm. (I used a large Ziploc bag and shake the mixtures together).
  • Serve warm.

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons egg white (1 extra-large egg)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups whole pecan halves (8 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with the cooking spray or brush it lightly with oil.
  • Place the egg white in a large bowl and whisk vigorously for 15 seconds, until light and frothy. Whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, chile powder, cloves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the pecans and mix well, until thoroughly coated. Pour the mixture, including any liquid, onto the prepared pan and spread in a single layer. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing twice with a metal spatula. Each time you toss the pecans, spread them out again in one layer. When they're done, sprinkle with fleur de sel and allow to cool completely; they will crisp as they cool. Serve at room temperature.

ROSEMARY SPICED NUTS



Rosemary Spiced Nuts image

These lightly-spiced cocktail nuts are a cut above the store bought sort. Cayenne adds kick, brown sugar balances the salt and fresh rosemary provides an unexpected woodsy note that really makes them something special. They're fancy enough to toss into a shiny cellophane bag, tie with a bow and give as a gift.

My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. I found out how they make the roasted pecans at the fair. Even though they use big roasters, these turn out just as great.

ROASTED PECANS WITH ROSEMARY AND SPICE



ROASTED PECANS WITH ROSEMARY AND SPICE image

Categories     Nut     Appetizer     Bake

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large egg whites
1/2 T sugar
2 T fresh rosemary, chopped fine
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (or more!)
2 C whole pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Line cookie pan with foil, coat with thin layer of oil (olive or vegetable). Whisk egg white in medium bowl until foamy. Add sugar, whisk again. Whisk in rosemary, salt and cayenne pepper. Pour into bag with nuts and toss until coated evenly. Spread nuts on the baking sheet, in a single layer. Bake until brown (about 15 minutes), stirring nuts after 8 minutes. Remove from oven and salt lightly, spoon nuts onto bread board to cool. The secret to the best nuts is to allow the outer edge to go to brown/black, partially carbonized. Personally I like the crispy ones!

Tips for Roasting Pecans with Rosemary and Spice:

  • Choose fresh pecans: Fresh pecans will have a brighter flavor and a crisper texture than older pecans.
  • Use a variety of spices: You can use any spices you like, but some good options include rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the pecans will not roast evenly.
  • Roast the pecans until they are fragrant and golden brown: This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before serving: This will help them to crisp up.

Conclusion:

Roasted pecans with rosemary and spice are a delicious and versatile snack or ingredient. They can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, or used as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With their smoky, savory flavor and crunchy texture, these pecans are sure to be a hit!
