1/4 Cup Butter (I use Earth Balance fake butter)
Salt to taste
Cinnamon to taste
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut a 1/2 inch crisscross on the flat side of each nut. If there isn't a flat side then just make sure to cut the crisscross or the nuts will burst in the oven/ Be sure to make it a clean cut through the shell. Place the nuts in a shallow baking pan with the cut side up and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow them to cool then peel off the shells. If you let them cool too much it makes the shells difficult to take off so make sure they are warm just not too hot to hold. Place the nuts in a skillet with the butter. Once the nuts are evenly coated with butter sprinkle salt and cinnamon over them. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until they are golden on top. You can also add the cinnamon and salt after they are baked but the way I did it they came out with a little bit of a candy coat.
These were really hard to peel and I am not sure I will make them again, but I have to admit they were very delicious.
