Nigella's Famous Bar Nuts
These roasted nuts are a perfect blend of buttery, sweet, and spicy flavors that make them impossible to put down.
recipesbynani.comThese bar nuts are a total crowd favorite in my kitchen. They are inspired by a classic recipe from the Union Square Cafe, and they truly live up to the hype. I love adding a few mini pretzels to the mix for a bit of crunch, and the fresh rosemary gives them such a wonderful fragrance.
This recipe is incredibly easy to whip up when guests pop over for a drink. The secret is to chop your fresh rosemary quite finely so it coats every single nut and pretzel perfectly. Just be warned, you will definitely want to double the batch because they disappear fast.
