# Ingredient List:

→ Mixed Nuts

01 - 1 cup raw almonds
02 - 1 cup raw cashews
03 - 1 cup raw pecans
04 - 1 cup raw walnuts

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place all nuts in a large mixing bowl.
03 - Drizzle olive oil over the nuts and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle sea salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper if using; mix well.
04 - Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until nuts turn golden and release a fragrant aroma.
06 - Remove from oven and, while still warm, sprinkle with chopped rosemary if desired. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes just 20 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for last-minute gatherings when you want to look like you put in real effort
  • The aroma that fills your kitchen while they roast is honestly better than any candle—your guests will notice before they even eat
  • You can customize the spices to match your mood or what you have on hand, making it endlessly adaptable
02 -
  • Don't walk away from the oven after that first stir. Roasting nuts is a 12–15 minute commitment, and the difference between golden and burnt happens in seconds. I learned this the hard way with a kitchen full of smoke
  • Nuts continue cooking slightly after you remove them from the oven due to residual heat, so take them out when they smell amazing but still look just slightly underdone. They'll be perfect once they cool
03 -
  • If you don't have parchment paper, a lightly oiled baking sheet works perfectly, though cleanup won't be quite as easy
  • Toast your spices in the oil for about 30 seconds before adding the nuts if you want even more depth of flavor—this small step elevates everything
