Savory Nut Seasoning Recipes

SWEET, SALTY, SPICY PARTY NUTS

I find this technique much easier than the stovetop pan method. You'll get beautiful, perfectly frosted nuts that are roasted evenly, with no bitter burned spots.

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
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.

SAVORY SEASONING

This recipe has been such a staple in my kitchen that I think of it as one would with salt and pepper. I use to use it exclusively on meats, but now that I rarely eat meat, I thought I would try on other things...and it was wonderful. The original recipe came from a writer with the first name of Francine..so long ago that I forgot the last name.

Steps:

Combine everything together in a container with a tight lid. I prefer a glass jar as I feel the potency remains longer then in plastic.
Shake or stir well. Store in cool area. Do Not Refrigerate!
This tends to settle, so stir well before using.
I love using this when I'm saute onions for the base of a soup or stew -- just about any kind except lamb.
It also makes a different rub for chicken.
