These deliciously addicting and toasty rosemary mixed nuts are the perfect snack for your holiday party. Salty, rosemary deliciousness!
Ummm how does one start a post about salty, rosemary and cayenne nuts, really?
It’s harder than you might think.
How about with a warning? Okay… so FYI these nuts are only a little spicy and highly addicting. Be careful because once you start you’ll find it very hard to stop. You might want to consider making a friend or spouse the cut off person otherwise you will find yourself licking the bowl once these are all gone.
It could get awkward.
So on the real, I love these mixed nuts. They are so simple and take all of 15 minutes to make. Simply toss, toast and serve warm or cold… really it doesn’t matter. I could sit down and eat a bowl of these for dinner. And I did, sort of. I made the same recipe for my families Christmas gathering. Instead of another day of ham, my mom and sisters all contribute an app or two and these are just the thing to round out an appetizer table.
Start by measuring and adding 3/4 tablespoon of dried rosemary, 1-1/2 teaspoon of Kosher Salt and a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper into a large bowl and give it a quick stir.
Measure and add in 2-1/2 tablespoons of extra light olive oil…
And add in 1-1/2 cups of unsalted cashews, 1-1/4 cup of unsalted almonds and a cup of pecan halves.
Toss the nuts into the olive oil and spices.
Dump the mixed nuts onto an un-greased, rimmed sheet pan.
Spread it around evenly and bake for 10 minutes.
I give the nuts a toss every couple of minutes.
You guys these smell HEAVENLY!
Let these rosemary mixed nuts cool slightly before serving. Or once cool, store in an airtight container for a week or longer!

Oh My YUM! These do look dangerously delicious! Im excited but nervous to make them haha
I’m so jealous of you getting to enjoy these! I love spicy nuts. PS I adore that first shot with the text. It’s perfect!
Warm, toasted nuts are my obsession. These look perfect. I think I’ll be making these for a healthy snack after the new year. Yum!
Oh yum! I could totally seeing myself sitting down and eating these for dinner to Laurie! Happy New Year 🙂
I could eat these all!! Salty toasted nuts are so my thing!!
Happy New Year! 🙂
I would have started pretty much the same way you did! A big picture right at the top! =) These look so delicious! But I’m worried I’ll get addicted and start eating too much of them!
I was just saying to my husband I need more snack recipes. My two girls are gonna eat us out of house and home soon. They have moved out of the toddler/prek diet stage to full blow eaters! I will have to give this one a try 🙂
Are you using raw nuts or unsalted roasted nuts? I’m assuming raw but since the recipe stated unsalted I’m second guessing.
Great question Debra! It’s raw pecans and roasted and unsalted cashews and almonds, but if you find lightly salted ones that’s fine too just decrease the salt in the recipe a tad. {ps I’ve changed the recipe to reflect that!} Thanks!! 🙂
