Ingredients
- 1 cup raw unsalted almonds
- 1 cup raw unsalted cashews
- ½ cup raw unsalted hazelnuts
- ½ cup raw unsalted pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the nuts. Pour the maple syrup over the nuts and mix well to coat evenly.
- Combine the coconut sugar, rosemary, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and cayenne in small bowl and stir well to combine.
- Pour the spice mixture over the nuts and mix well until evenly distributed.
- Pour the nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into one even layer. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning.
- Add another sprinkle of salt, if desired.
- Let cool on the baking sheet.
- Once completely cool, transfer to an air-tight container.
Notes
~ Start with raw unsalted nuts in order to control the amount of seasoning and salt.
~ Don't skip the pure maple syrup! This is what is going to help the spices and herbs stick to the nuts. If you want to cut down on sugar, leave out the coconut sugar.
~ Be sure to stir the nuts every 5 minutes while they are roasting to prevent burning.
~ Allow the nuts to cool in one even layer on the baking sheet in order to continue to get crunchy.
~ Ensure the roasted nuts have completely cooled before transferring to an air-tight container for storage.
~ These Spiced Rosemary Roasted Nuts will keep well for about a week.
