Rosemary Maple Glazed Nuts Recipes

SWEET & SPICY ROASTED PARTY NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat so the maple syrup doesn't get stuck to the pan (this is important). Pour the almonds, pecans and pepitas onto the pan and set it aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the optional rosemary (or any other added seasonings), maple syrup, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and cayenne (if you using). Gently whisk until blended.
• Pour the mixture over the nuts on the prepared baking sheet. Stir well, until all of the nuts are lightly coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer across the pan (the maple syrup will pool on the bottom of the pan, but that's okay).
• Bake, stirring after the first 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter, until almost no maple syrup remains on the parchment paper and the nuts are deeply golden, 23 to 26 minutes. (The maple syrup coating will be a little sticky right out of the oven, but will harden as the pecans cool.)
• Remove the pan from the oven and stir the nuts one more time, spreading them into an even layer across the pan. Let them cool down for about 10 minutes, then, while the nuts are still warm, carefully separate any large clumps (this may or may not be necessary).
• Let the nut mixture cool completely on the pan. These will keep for up to 2 months in a sealed bag at room temperature.

CHIPOTLE AND ROSEMARY ROASTED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a sheet pan generously with vegetable oil. Combine the cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the maple syrup, brown sugar, orange juice, and chipotle powder on the sheet pan. Toss to coat the nuts evenly. Add 2 tablespoons of the rosemary and 2 teaspoons of salt and toss again.
• Spread the nuts in one layer. Roast the nuts for 25 minutes, stirring twice with a large metal spatula, until the nuts are glazed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 2 more teaspoons of salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons of rosemary. Toss well and set aside at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking as they cool. Taste for seasoning. Serve warm or cool completely and store in airtight containers at room temperature.

MAPLE ROSEMARY GLAZE

Steps:

• To make Maple Apple Chicken: Cut 2 large apples into 8 chunks each. Place the chunks around the chicken, Brush the hot glaze over the chicken and drizzle it over the apples. Bake as directed below.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 13 by 9-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place the chicken in the pan. Stir the maple syrup, apple juice, butter, shallot, and rosemary together in small saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a gentle boil. Boil for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. The mixture will thicken.
• Brush the hot mixture over the chicken. Bake until the chicken is hot and the glaze is bubbly, about 20 minutes, basting 2 or 3 times.

Steps:

• In a large skillet or Dutch oven, toast the nuts over medium heat, stirring frequently so that they don't burn.

• When the nuts are toasted (when the vast majority have darkened spots), pour the butter mixture over the nuts and toss to coat.
• Spread the glazed nuts out on a silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet (makes for far easier clean up) and roast in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on your desired level of roast.
