Because I wanted to ship some of my treasured pecans to a dearest friend, I have adapted the recipe to some extent. I coated the nuts first in the butter and then added the spices before roasting at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Otherwise the pecans would have arrived covered in coagulated butter. Those I will be serving for cocktails at home will get the original procedure. You will love them!

Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (18-ounces) assorted unsalted nuts, including peeled peanuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans and whole unpeeled almonds
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Maldon or other sea salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss the nuts in a large bowl to combine and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden brown, about 10 minutes.In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt and melted butter.
Thoroughly toss the toasted nuts in the spiced butter and serve warm. And once you eat these, you will never want to stop.

I love this recipe and make them all the time and I use mostly pecans as well -- because, well, it is the nut most easily gotten on the prairie. You eat what you have!
