Nuts are a healthy addition to any diet as long as you don't overdo the amount you eat -- simply because, as we all know, they are high in fat. For a truly healthful approach, though, nuts should be eaten raw. But here are two fun ways to incorporate lightly toasted nuts into appetizers when you wish to entertain guests.
SPICEY MIXED NUTS1 cup each of whole almonds, whole cashews, pecan halves
2 tbs butter
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp chili powder
2 tbs butter
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp chili powder
Directions:
1: Heat oven to 300-degrees F.
2. Place butter in a baking dish and set it in the oven just long enough to melt the butter.
3. Remove the pan from the oven then add the nuts and Worcestershire sauce to the melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
4: Bake the nuts until toasted, about 30 minutes and stir.
5. Remove nuts from oven and sprinkle the mixture evenly with garlic salt, cayenne pepper and chili powder. Toss until well coated.
Serve immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
SPICED ALMONDS2 cups dry-roasted, unsalted almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until hot then mix in the almonds.
2. When the almonds are evenly coated with oil, add the Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, cayenne pepper and chili powder. Again, make sure everything is evenly coated.
3. Remove the almonds from the pan and spread them in an even layer on a baking sheet or large plate and allow to cool.
