Description

These Sweet and Salty Rosemary Roasted Mixed Nuts are a deliciously addictive snack that combines savory herbs with a touch of sweetness. Featuring a mix of your favorite raw nuts coated in a blend of maple syrup, brown sugar, fresh rosemary, and sea salt, this easy-to-make recipe is perfect for snacking or gifting. A hint of chili powder adds a subtle kick, and vanilla extract enhances the flavor, making these nuts irresistibly tasty and crunchy once cooled.

Ingredients

Scale

Mixed Nuts

  • 1.5 pounds raw unsalted mixed nuts of choice (e.g. cashews, walnuts, almonds, pecans)

Coating

  • 2 Tbsp oil or butter (coconut oil suggested; alternatives include butter, vegan butter, or olive oil)
  • 3 Tbsp real maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, finely minced
  • 2 tsp sea salt, coarsely ground preferred
  • Optional: a pinch of chili powder or chipotle powder
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the nuts evenly.
  2. Combine Nuts: Place the mixed raw nuts into a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are ready to be coated.
  3. Prepare Coating: In a smaller bowl, melt your choice of oil or butter. Stir in the real maple syrup and finely minced fresh rosemary, mixing well to create a flavorful glaze.
  4. Coat Nuts: Pour the glaze mixture over the nuts and stir thoroughly to coat all nuts evenly with the syrup and rosemary mixture.
  5. Add Sugar and Spices: Sprinkle the brown sugar, sea salt, and optional chili or chipotle powder over the coated nuts. Toss and stir again to ensure an even distribution of flavor.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated nuts out evenly on a greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and promote even roasting.
  7. Roast Nuts: Bake the nuts for 17 to 20 minutes until they are toasty and golden brown. Stir and toss the nuts halfway through baking to ensure they roast evenly and do not burn.
  8. Cool and Toss: After baking, allow the nuts to cool at room temperature while stirring periodically. This prevents sticking and allows the nuts to develop their final crunchy texture. Taste and add more salt if desired during cooling.
  9. Serve and Store: Enjoy these nuts warm or cooled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container once fully cooled to maintain freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • This recipe combines savory rosemary with sweet maple syrup and brown sugar for a perfect balance of flavors.
  • Use your favorite mix of raw nuts such as cashews, walnuts, almonds, and pecans for customization.
  • Add a pinch of chili or chipotle powder if you like a subtle spicy kick.
  • Vanilla extract enhances the flavor and adds depth to the glaze.
  • Stirring halfway during roasting is crucial to avoid burning and to ensure even cooking.
  • Nuts will become crunchy only after cooling, so patience is key before serving or storing.
