Rosemary Spiced Nuts - For the Mad Man Dad

Ingredients:

• Vegetable oil
• 3 cups whole roasted unsalted cashews
• 2 cups whole walnut halves
• 2 cups whole pecan halves
• 1/2 cup whole almonds
• 1⁄3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 teaspoons ground chipotle powder (or another spice, like ancho chili pepper or Spanish paprika)
• 4 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves, divided
• Kosher salt

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Brush a sheet pan generously with vegetable oil, or cover with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add the different kinds of nuts. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the maple syrup, brown sugar, orange juice, and chipotle powder (or other spice) and mix well. Pour the mixture onto the nuts and toss well. Add the chopped rosemary and 2 teaspoons of salt and toss again.
3. Spread the nuts in one layer on the baking pan. Roast the nuts for 25 minutes, stirring twice with a large 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.
4. 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.
