Rosemary Spiced Mixed Nuts
Description
This recipe for Rosemary Spiced Mixed Nuts starts with tossing a mixture of raw, unsalted nuts including cashews, walnuts, and almonds with melted butter and real maple syrup, which creates a sticky base for the spice and herb coating. Fresh chopped rosemary, dark brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and flaky sea salt are added to infuse sweet, savory, and mildly spicy layers of flavor. Baking the nuts at 350°F for about 18 to 20 minutes develops a toasted golden color and caramelized glaze. Additional fresh rosemary and sea salt are sprinkled immediately after roasting to refresh the herbal aroma and taste. The spiced nuts can be served warm or stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days, offering a nutty, crunchy snack with a bright herbal accent and subtle heat.
Ingredients
- 1 pound mixed nuts raw, unsalted; includes cashews, walnuts, almonds
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup not imitation
- 2 tablespoons rosemary fresh, chopped, 1 teaspoon, divided
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons sea salt flaky or kosher salt, plus more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss mixed nuts with melted butter and maple syrup. Add 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary, dark brown sugar, cayenne pepper and 2 teaspoons flaky sea salt, mixing until the nuts are well coated with the flavorings. Spread nuts out onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until glazed and golden (about 18 - 20 minutes), stirring twice during the cooking process.*
- As soon as the nuts come out of the oven, season with an additional 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, and flaky sea salt to taste (I added an additional 3/4 teaspoon). Serve warm immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Check nuts early if your oven runs hot, as they can quickly become bitter if overcooked.
- Store the cooled nuts in an airtight container to maintain texture and flavor for up to 5 days.
