Buttered Nuts with Rosemary and Orange

Buttered Nuts with Rosemary and Orange

In the same Real Simple magazine article that I followed to make Chocolate-Drizzled Nuts with Sea Salt comes this recipe for another sweet/savory snack.

This version is cooked in a large skillet for a couple of minutes, then cooled on a baking sheet.

You start by melting butter, then adding the mixed nuts, sugar, rosemary, and orange zest.

Then allow the nuts to rest for a little while before serving.

A couple of notes:

**I didn't have an orange so used lemon zest instead.

**I think fresh rosemary is the way to go in this recipe.

**The nuts were a little greasy so I'm cutting the amount of butter in half in the recipe below.

So delicious!  I am storing them in an air-tight container in the fridge and pulling them out for snacks in the afternoon with the boys.
