These herby spiced nuts are so easy to make. I love to offer them on cheese trays and as a small appetizer - and this recipe is great for gifting!
Ingredients
- 3 cups large whole nuts, I like to use 1 c. cashews, 1 c. pecans, and 1 c. almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Method
- 1)
Preheat oven to 300° F. Place nuts in a medium heatproof bowl.
- 2)
Pour oil into a small heavy saucepan and place over medium-low heat until warm. Do not let it get too hot – the oil will burn. Add rosemary and thyme and stir until aromatic, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and stir in cumin and cayenne pepper.
- 3)
Pour the flavored oil over the nuts and stir to coat evenly. Sprinkle with sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir again.
- 4)
Transfer to a jelly roll pan or a baking pan with sides. Bake for about 15 minutes total, stirring after the first 10 minutes. Let cool. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
Great afternoon snack if you have a craving for something savory. You can also pack them in reusable snack bags for easy snacking on the go.
