Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts. Drizzle the olive oil over the nuts and toss to coat evenly.
Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss the nuts again until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.
Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not too crowded to allow for even toasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the nuts are fragrant and lightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10–15 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the herbed nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept for up to 1 week at room temperature or longer in the refrigerator.
Serve as a snack, party appetizer, or salad topper!
