Ingredients

  • 12 ounces unroasted unsalted nuts (cashews, almonds, pecans, etc)
  • 1.5 tablespoons grapeseed, olive or other oil
  • 34 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon aleppo pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground sumac
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt for finishing

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the nuts with the oil in a mixing bowl until coated.
  • Toss the nuts with the oil in a mixing bowl until coated.
  • Sprinkle in remaining ingredients (except agave and flaky salt) and toss to evenly coat nuts.
  • Spread nuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.
  • Toss the nuts, drizzle on the agave, toss to coat, spread nuts back into even layer. Bake for additional 5 minutes.
  • Test every 5 minutes until they are done, mine were mostly big cashews and took another 5 to 10. To test I place a few nuts on a small dish and pop it in the freezer for a min, when they are cool you can tell how crunchy they are.
  • Finish with the flaky sea salt and let them cool in an even layer. When they are completely cool you can jar them for your next cocktail party!
