Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (packed) light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound (about 2 cups) raw unsalted mixed nuts

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In medium saucepan over moderately low heat, combine all ingredients except nuts. Cook, stirring frequently, until butter and sugar melt completely, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add nuts and toss well to combine.
  • Spread nuts on large rimmed baking sheet and bake, stirring after 7 minutes, until golden and fragrant, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. (Nuts can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored at room temperature in airtight container.)
