Union Square Cafe variation: 4 cups (~550 g) mixed nuts or seeds, raw, unsalted (e.g. peanuts, walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews) 2 Tablespoons butter 2 Tablespoons brown sugar 3 Tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped 2 teaspoons sea salt 1 teaspoon cayenne Heat oven to 350° . Spread nuts on a tray and toast for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant. While they’re toasting, whisk butter, rosemary, cayenne, sugar and salt in the bottom of a large bowl. When nuts are toasted, add them to bowl and stir to evenly coat. Spread back on tray and toast for another 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve warm in bowls. Nuts are also good at room temperature, and keep for weeks in airtight jars.
