Seasoned nut recipe?

[atpeace]

Does anyone want to share a favourite seasoned nut recipe?  

I have a box of raw assorted nuts (cashews, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans) that I am going to season or spice up with some sort of flavours and include in an Xmas gift for my father.  I'm leaning more towards savory rather than sweet.

Any suggestions? 

(I've looked on www.allrecipes.com but haven't found anything great).

This recipe from David Lebovitz is amazing... It does have a bit of brown sugar and maple syrup, but it's not very sweet.

I think this was an Ina Garten recipe. If you don't want the heat of cayenne, then 1 to 2 tsp. of smoked paprika is a nice substitute (or use both): 

Rosemary Roasted Cashews

1 1/4 lb. roasted, unsalted cashews

2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh rosemary

1/2 tsp. cayenne

2 tsp. dark brown sugar

2 tsp. kosher salt

2 Tbsp melted butter

Bake nuts at 375F for 10 minutes, until warmed through. 

Mix other ingredients in a bowl. 

Toss nuts in mixture until coated. 

Spread on a parchment lined cookie sheet to cool.

Makes 3 cups. 

Another recipe: 

3 cups mixed nuts

1 egg white 

1 Tbsp. orange concentrate

2/3 cup sugar

1 Tbsp orange zest

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp allspice

Beat egg white with a fork until frothy. Add orange juice, sugar and spices. 

Pour over nuts and toss together to combine.

Spread out on a parchment lined cookie sheet. 

Bake at 275F for 25 to 30 minutes or until toasted and crisp, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool. 

CAREFUL - goes from toasted to burnt sugar quickly. 

*This is the original recipe that I wrote down, but I usually experiment with it. You can use less sugar, add ginger, cloves or other spices etc.

Honey-Chipotle Pecans

The recipe is for pecans, but I think mixed nuts would be fine.  We love these!  HTH.
