Glazed Spiced Nuts Recipes

SPICY GLAZED PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and cayenne pepper. Stir and bring to a boil; let boil 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat; gently stir in nuts until evenly coated and the sugar mixture begins to thicken. Spread nuts over the prepared baking pan. Bake until browned, about 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and let nuts cool. Place in a plastic bag, and gently tumble together to remove any excess glaze. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.

SPICED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Beat egg white until soft and foamy. Combine all remaining ingredients except pecans; whisk into egg white. Stir in pecans until well coated; spread mixture in single layer onto an ungreased baking pan.
• Bake pecans for 15 minutes, then remove from oven. Using a metal spatula, toss, stir, and separate nuts. Reduce oven to 250 degrees and return nuts to bake until medium brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; toss, and stir again. Place baking pan on wire rack to cool (they will crisp as they cool). Break up any that stick together.

GLAZED NUTS

Steps:

• In a heavy 8 inch skillet combine nuts, sugar and butter.
• Cook over med heat, stirring constantly until sugar is melted and golden in color and nuts are toasted (about 7 minutes).
• Spread nuts on a butter cookie sheet or aluminum foil, separating nuts.
• Sprinkle lightly with salt.

SPICED HONEY-GLAZED NUTS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350.
• Spread the nuts on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake just until the nuts are warm to the touch, about 3 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven. Drizzle nuts with honey and corn syrup, and mix well. Continue baking, stirring often with oiled spatula (I used Pam) until the liquid has evaporated into a glaze, about 10-12 minutes.
• Mix the sugar, salt, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add the nuts and mix well to coat them with the spiced sugar. Transfer to a clean baking sheet to cool, breaking up the nuts that may have stuck together. They will crisp as they cool.
• Store in airtight container at room temp for up to one week.

SPICED GLAZED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250.
• Combine sugar, cinnamon, allspice, seasoned salt, nutmeg, and black pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Beat egg white until foamy. Add nuts, tossing to coat. Add to spice mixture tossing to coat evenly.
• Spread nuts on a greased baking sheet (a baking stone works great for this) in a single layer. Bake one hour, stirring once. Cool slightly on the baking sheet and break apart, if need be. Cool completely and then store in an airtight container up to two weeks.

RUM-GLAZED SPICED PECANS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• To make the spice mix, place the spices in a small bowl and mix to combine.
• To make the glaze, place the glaze ingredients in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Add the pecans to the saucepan and cook until they are well coated and the pan is almost dry, about 1 minute. Spoon the spice mix over the nuts, 1 tablespoon at a time, until they are well coated.
• Transfer the pecans to the prepared sheet, separate with your hands or a fork, and let sit until completely dried, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

GLAZED SPICY CINNAMON PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pour butter over foil layer.
• Whisk sugar, egg whites, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Add pecans and toss to fully coat. Spread coated pecans on the buttered baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring and flipping pecans after 10 minutes, until pecans are toasted, about 20 minutes. Cool pecans on baking sheet for 15 minutes.
