Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts. Drizzle the olive oil over the nuts and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss the nuts again until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not too crowded to allow for even toasting.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the nuts are fragrant and lightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 6

Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10–15 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the herbed nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept for up to 1 week at room temperature or longer in the refrigerator.

Step 8

Serve as a snack, party appetizer, or salad topper!
