Indulge in the delightful aroma and flavor of these savory nuts, perfect for any occasion from holiday gatherings to casual snacking. With a delightful blend of spices and herbs, these nuts are sure to become a favorite in your repertoire of quick and easy snacks.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups nuts (choose your favorite mix)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Spices: In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, chopped rosemary, salt, ground ginger, dried marjoram, and freshly ground pepper. Stir well to ensure even distribution of spices.
-
Coat Nuts: Add the nuts to the bowl with the spice mixture. Toss the nuts until they are evenly coated with the spice blend. Allow the nuts to stand for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all nuts are coated evenly.
-
Spread Nuts: Once the nuts have absorbed the flavors, spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures even roasting and a crunchy texture.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the nuts for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
-
Cool and Store: Once baked to perfection, remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This helps to crisp them up further. Once cooled, transfer the nuts to airtight containers and store them in a cool, dark place for up to 3 weeks.
