The Cozy Magic of Homemade Roasted Nuts
Rosemary Sea Salt Roasted Nuts
Ingredients
Ingredients (makes about 8 servings)
-
1 cup raw almonds
-
1 cup raw cashews
-
1 cup raw pecans
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for vegan)
-
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
-
1 tsp flaky sea salt (Maldon preferred)
-
½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan:
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Flavor Butter Bath:
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Take a deep breath—this smell is your soul’s happy place!
3. Toss the Nuts:
Add almonds, cashews, and pecans. Gently fold until every nut is glossy and coated. For max flavor, let sit 5 minutes to soak.
4. Spread & Roast:
Arrange nuts in a single layer on the baking sheet (no crowding!). Bake 12–15 minutes, stirring at 7 minutes to ensure even toasting.
5. Cool Completely:
Remove from oven and cool nuts fully on the sheet (about 15 minutes). They crisp as they cool—resist the urge to snack early!
Notes
-
Maple Crunch: Add 1 tsp maple syrup to the butter mixture before tossing for a subtle caramel kiss.
-
Sweet Heat: Add 1 tbsp maple syrup + ¼ tsp cayenne for a spicy-sweet twist.
-
Mediterranean Flair: Swap rosemary for 2 tsp dried oregano + zest of 1 lemon.
-
Candied Nuts: Toss nuts with 1 egg white + ¼ cup brown sugar before roasting.
