Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). This ensures that it’s perfectly heated when it’s time to roast the nuts, allowing them to become wonderfully crisp and flavorful.
-
-
Prepare nuts: In a mixing bowl, combine the walnuts, pecans, and peanuts. This blend of nuts creates a delightful medley of flavors and textures, making each bite a delicious experience.
-
Infuse with rosemary: In a small skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the dried rosemary to the skillet and cook until it becomes aromatic, releasing its fragrant oils. Once the rosemary is aromatic, pour it over the mixed nuts in the bowl, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
-
Season the nuts: In a separate small dish, blend together the vegan sugar, ground cumin, mild chili powder, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper for an extra kick if desired. Sprinkle this flavorful seasoning mixture over the nuts and toss them gently to ensure they’re evenly coated with the delicious blend of spices.
-
Roast in the oven: Spread the seasoned nuts onto a non-stick baking sheet, ensuring they’re in a single layer for even roasting. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the nuts for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re beautifully toasted and aromatic. To ensure even cooking, stir the nuts once during the roasting process.
-
Cool and store: Once the nuts are perfectly roasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container to preserve their freshness and flavor.
-
Enjoy: Your Savory Spiced Holiday Nuts are now ready to enjoy! Whether served as a festive party snack or enjoyed as a cozy treat on a chilly evening, these nuts are sure to be a hit with family and friends alike.
