We have some friends who serve these whenever they have a party. People claim to come to their parties just for these nuts. The recipe is from the Union Square Cafe in New York. The nuts can be made ahead of time, and reheated in the microwave or oven just before serving.
1/4 pound each peeled peanuts, cashews, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, and whole unpeeled almonds, or 1 1/4 pounds unsalted, assorted nuts
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350° F. Toss the nuts in a large bowl to combine and spread them out on a cookie sheet. Toast in the oven until they become light golden brown, about 10 minutes. In the large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, brown sugar, salt, and melted butter. Thoroughly toss the warm toasted nuts with the spiced butter and serve warm.
