Legendary Bobby Flay Spiced Nuts Recipe
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 8 1x
Description
Bobby Flay’s spiced nuts blend complex flavors from roasted almonds, pecans, and walnuts with a zesty blend of cayenne, rosemary, and brown sugar. Warm, crunchy nuts offer a perfect snack or entertaining appetizer that you can easily prepare in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed nuts (unsalted, such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, and peanuts)
- 4 tbsps (½ stick/57 g) unsalted butter
- 3 tbsps brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preparation: Position oven rack in center and preheat to 400°F (204°C), creating optimal roasting environment for nuts.
- Toasting Nuts: Spread nuts across rimmed baking sheet in single layer, ensuring maximum exposure for even, golden-brown roasting during 8-10 minute cooking period.
- Seasoning Mixture: Gently melt butter in small saucepan over low heat, then whisk in remaining seasonings to create a harmonious, flavor-infused coating.
- Combining and Coating: Immediately transfer hot nuts from oven to large mixing bowl, then drench with seasoned butter mixture, carefully tossing to guarantee complete, uniform coverage.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow nuts to rest at room temperature, permitting butter mixture to solidify and create a crisp, tantalizing exterior, then serve warm or at ambient temperature as an irresistible appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Prevent Burning: Watch nuts closely during roasting to avoid over-toasting, which can quickly turn them bitter and ruin the flavor profile.
- Butter Coating Technique: Whisk seasonings into melted butter thoroughly to create an even, flavorful coating that clings perfectly to every nut.
- Spacing Matters: Use a large rimmed baking sheet and spread nuts in a single layer without overcrowding to ensure consistent, golden-brown roasting.
- Cooling Crucial: Let nuts rest briefly after seasoning to allow the butter mixture to set, creating a delightful crispy exterior that locks in maximum flavor.
