Ingredients

• 2 cups walnuts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika
• 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until the mixture is well blended.

Step 3

Add the walnuts to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.

Step 4

Spread the coated walnuts evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast the walnuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they toast evenly. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning, as nuts can go from toasted to burnt quickly.

Step 6

Remove the walnuts from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. As they cool, they will become crispier.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted rosemary walnuts to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
