Whiskey Roasted Nuts


Description

A mostly savory roasted nut with whiskey and honey.


Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 23 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup whiskey
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 heaping teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 cups raw nuts (I used pecans, cashews and almonds)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300F degrees.
  2. Put nuts in a large bowl; set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine butter, honey, hot sauce, whiskey, salt and garlic powder. Stir to combine and bring to a bare boil. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over the nuts.
  4. Coat the nuts thoroughly and then pour nuts (and any remaining sauce) on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread nuts into single layer and roast 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely before transferring nuts to a container. Eat within 2 weeks.
