Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Add the walnuts to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Spread the coated walnuts evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the walnuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they toast evenly. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning, as nuts can go from toasted to burnt quickly.
Remove the walnuts from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. As they cool, they will become crispier.
Transfer the roasted rosemary walnuts to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
