Curried Mixed Nuts Recipes

CURRY-SPICED CASHEWS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (163 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (use more baking sheets, as needed, if increasing batch size).
• Add cashews to a bare baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes.
• In the meantime, add oil, maple syrup, and green curry paste to a medium mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly to combine.
• Remove slightly toasted cashews from the oven and add directly to the curry mixture. Toss to combine. Then add remaining spices (curry powder through sea salt), and toss thoroughly to combine.
• Add back to baking sheet and bake for another 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown and roasted. Once the cashews have cooled a bit, taste a cashew and adjust seasonings as needed while still warm on sheet. Add more cumin for smokiness, turmeric for earthiness, curry powder for more intense curry flavor, or coconut sugar for sweetness. Optional: sprinkle with lime zest and toss to coat.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 weeks. Best within the first week!

• Combine walnut halves, pecan halves, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Slowly pour butter mixture over the bowl of nuts and stir to coat.
• Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
• Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts until the warm syrup coats every nut. Spread into a single layer, return to the oven, and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
