Rosemary Roasted Cashews Christmas tray

Nuts–walnuts, cashews, pecans, almonds–make yummie holiday treats. This is Rosie’s dee-liciously easy Rosemary Roasted Cashews. She ‘borrowed’ the recipe from our friend Mary Margaret a while back, and it’s now her go-to recipe for quick gifts and snacks.  Update: One of my readers Tina Mark shared that she had made this recipe at Thanksgiving. Since this wasn’t posted yet, I inquired of her recipe source. We found the recipe by Ina Garten on a post by Leite’s Culinaria (I’ve since adjusted the seasoning amounts). So it’s a much-loved, popular recipe.

Another of our favs is Rita’s crunchy Sweet Salty Bitter Glazed Nuts. Then there’s Spiced Nuts (recipe below) that’s part of Rosie’s Peaches & Cheese Salad. Each recipe uses a slightly different method to prepare the nuts. All three are easy — the way we like it at Get Cooking Simply!  And we can all use simple and easy during the holidays.

Rosemary Roasted Cashews

These are my two favorite roasted nut recipes.  The Rosemary Roasted Cashews are sweet-hot; the Spiced Candied Nuts are sweet. I like to add to salads with balsamic dressing, crumbled gorgonzola, and dried cherries or golden raisins.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw cashews
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 generous Tbsp very finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 Tbsp packed dark or light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
    Spread 1 pound raw whole cashews (about 3-3/4 cups) on a baking sheet. (Rosie lines the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy transfer of the hot nuts off the pan). Roast for 15-20 minutes, turning several times until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter and pour into a large mixing bowl. Stir in rosemary, brown sugar, salt, and cayenne. The mixture will look a little dry; that's ok. Add hot cashews to the bowl as soon as they are toasted. Stir and stir until cashews are cool and coated with herb mixture. The trick is to stir while the nuts are still hot so the rosemary sticks to them. Let cool completely in the bowl. Store in airtight container. Keeps well several weeks, but you probably won’t have that long!

SPICED CANDIED NUTS

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 teaspoon table salt or 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/8 teaspoon allspice
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    3 cups combinations of pecan and walnut halves
    3/4 cup pistachios, optional (or additional 3/4 cup pecans or walnuts)
    Heat oven to 350°F. Mix sugar, salt, allspice and cayenne in a small bowl. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat; add nuts. Let stand 30 seconds; drain in a colander. Return nuts to saucepan. Stir sugar mixture into hot, wet nuts. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Spread nuts evenly onto pan. Bake at 350°F about 15 minutes until toasted and glazed, stirring every 5-6 minutes. Cool completely and store in airtight container.

Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do you care or wonder what the developer did different? Or do you think it was fancy food styling and photography? There’s lots of reasons —like different pans, ingredients vary, your whipped eggs may turn out a little different than mine because they are fresher, older, different hens.... and on and on. I hope you don’t get discouraged when images aren’t the same as your results, and you can see by mine, even when it IS my recipe there are variations. The cake on the plate is gluten free, and didn’t bake as golden as the flour version. (And my oven is currrently on the fritz, believe it or not! 😂)

Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. P Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. Perfect after a day of baking, biking, gardening, and escaping into a good book on the sofa by the fire.  Recipe inspired by  @cheflauriegauguin. We spice it up with a smear of hoisin sauce on a Trader Joe’s Carb Savvy whole wheat tortilla to wrap it all up.
(If you want to know, the book I’m reading is The Knitting Circle by @annhood56)

Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll kee Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll keep raw cashews on-hand always. Or try with another nut, and let me know which you like best. My gift to you is the recipe below 🙂
Original recipe @leitesculinaria and @inagarten but I first enjoyed it from @mmfooddrink. 🙏 this recipe has been a gift that keeps giving 😂. 
Merry Christmas!

Rosemary Roasted Cashews
 
Heat oven to 350°F
 
Spread 1 pound raw whole cashews on a baking sheet (I usually line sheet with parchment). Bake for 15-20 minutes turning several times until toasted a deep golden brown.
 
Meanwhile, in a large bowl,  microwave 1 tablespoon salted butter until melted.
Stir in:
one rounded tablespoon very finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
 
Add hot cashews to bowl as soon as they are toasted.  Stir and stir until cashews are cool and coated with herb mixture.  Stirring while the nuts are hot is the trick. Cool completely in the bowl.
