Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, and pecans.
Drizzle the olive oil over the nuts, and toss to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the cumin powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, black pepper, and dried rosemary.
Sprinkle the spice blend over the nuts and stir well to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even roasting.
Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.
Once the nut mix has fully cooled, transfer it to an airtight container for storage. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
