Ingredients
- 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 Tbs. curry powder
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 Tbs. firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 lb. pecans or mixed nuts
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a large nonstick fry pan over medium heat, combine the butter, curry, salt, cinnamon, cumin, cayenne and brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the butter is melted and the spices are aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the nuts to the spice mixture and toss until evenly coated. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. Slide the foil and nuts onto a wire rack and let cool completely before serving. Makes about 4 cups.
