Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the mixed nuts and drizzle them with the olive oil. Toss well to coat evenly.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and add it to the bowl along with the lemon zest, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and salt. Stir until the nuts are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye on the nuts to avoid burning.
Step 6
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the spiced nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Step 8
Serve as a snack, garnish for salads, or a party appetizer. Enjoy!
