Rosemary Spiced Mixed Nuts
Rosemary Spiced Mixed Nuts feature a blend of raw, unsalted cashews, walnuts, and almonds coated in melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and seasoning with fresh rosemary, cayenne pepper, and flaky sea salt. Roasting brings out a golden glaze and enhances the nuts’ natural crunch, balanced by herbal and mildly spicy notes. These warm spiced nuts make a flavorful snack or appetizer.

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.
