What do you need to make easy rosemary savory spiced nuts:
- Raw Mixed nuts (or your favorite nut)
- Fresh rosemary
- Dried ground sage
- Salt
- Avocado Oil
Why should you use raw mixed nuts?
This recipe calls for using raw mixed nuts since roasted nuts are often roasted in canola oil or some other oil which can easily go rancid. Instead, buy raw mixed nuts and roast them yourself in a 300F degree oven with avocado oil and whatever spices you love!
If you choose to roast your own nuts, be aware that they can easily burn. Because of this, I choose to use a cooler temperature (300F) and roast them for longer instead of using higher heat for a shorter period of time.
The nuts will not look golden brown but will get crispy and crunchy in a 300F oven for 20 minutes. It is very important that you allow the nuts to cool completely, as they get crunchier as they cool.
How do you get spices to stick to nuts:
To get spices to stick to nuts, coat the nuts in oil mixed with the seasoning. As the nuts roast gently in the oven, the spices will adhere to the nuts.
Alternatively, if you want the nuts to have a bit of a crust, you can coat the nuts in a single egg white, whipped up with the seasoning in the egg white.
I wanted this recipe to be as simple as possible, so I chose to just use avocado oil, but if you find that you want your spices to be more adhered to your rosemary spiced nuts, you can use 1 egg white in place of the avocado oil.
What other spices could you add to these savory rosemary spiced nuts:
- Chili powder
- Cayenne pepper
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Thyme – dried or fresh
- Italian seasoning
- Dried lemon peel
- Dried orange peel
Tips for storing these rosemary spiced nuts:
You can make these rosemary spiced nuts ahead of time for a party and simply store them in a sealed container for up to 3 days on the counter.
If you make these rosemary savory spiced nuts for snacks throughout the week, you may want to store the mixed nuts in single serve containers in the fridge to keep them fresh.
