Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, and/or peanuts)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional, finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, kosher salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and sugar. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Step 3

If using fresh rosemary, chop it finely and mix it into the seasoning blend.

Step 4

Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss until all the nuts are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast the nuts for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.

Step 7

Once the nuts are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet. The nuts will crisp up as they cool.

Step 8

Serve warm or store the cooled nuts in an airtight container for up to a week, enjoying them as a snack or an addition to your appetizer platter.
