These roasted Candied Hazelnuts are perfectly sweet with a spicy kick. Good for snacking, or an excellent addition in salads or desserts. See our Farm Salad recipe.
2.Place hazelnuts in an oven safe dish and roast for 15 minutes.
3.Wrap the hot nuts in a dish towel and let them sit for about 5 minutes. Then rub the nuts in the towel to remove as many skins as you can. (Note: towel may stain, so choose one with that in mind!)
4.Put the hazelnuts in a bowl and cover them with water. Then transfer to a sieve and shake out the water.
5.In another bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, cayenne, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
6.Add the hazelnuts and toss. Transfer to a sieve and shake off the excess coating.
7.Arrange the hazelnuts in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the sugar is lightly caramelized and the hazelnuts are golden.
