How to Make Bar Nuts Ala Nyc S Union Square Cafe
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss 2 cups of mixed nuts (your choice!) with 1 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter.
- Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant, shaking the pan halfway through for even toasting.
- Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the nuts to a large bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste!), 1/4 teaspoon of coarse sea salt, and 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary leaves (roughly chopped).
- Toss gently to coat the nuts evenly in the spice and sugar mixture.
- Let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. The flavors will deepen as they cool!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
