2 steps
Method
1
Roast the nuts at 170°C until fragrant and a shade darker, 10–12 minutes.
2
Toss HOT nuts with melted butter, rosemary, sugar, cayenne, and salt — heat blooms the rosemary and melts the sugar into a glaze.
💡
Serve warm if you can: warm nuts read as twice as fragrant. Re-warm 5 minutes before guests arrive.

Notes
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Airtight container, 3 days.
Freezing
Usually better fresh.
Reheating
A hot dry pan or 180°C oven re-crisps almost anything in 3–5 minutes.
Make ahead
Portion into grab-and-go containers; most keep 3 days.
Wine pairing
Whatever's open.
Beer pairing
Whatever's cold.
