Rosemary maple spiced roasted nuts are irresistibly tasty. They only take 20 minutes to make and you can put them into little jars for an edible Christmas gift. All the flavours work beautifully with the crunchy candied nuts.
Spiced Roasted Nuts
There’s something so irresistible about homemade roasted nuts. The huge flavours permeate the air as they roast and you can tweak all the flavours to your liking.
Nuts are lovely on their own, but roasted with herbs and spices? BOOM – crunchy amazingness.
The only sad thing as I write this is that I don’t have any left to nibble at as I type. I really must make amends to that tomorrow and whip up another batch.
Luckily, this spiced nuts recipe only take 20 minutes to make, and they’re super easy.
Candied Nuts
There are some pretty incredible flavours all at work in these spiced roasted nuts. I’ve tweaked the recipe many times and this is my ultimate blend of sweet/savoury/umami/spicy/salty and simply mind-blowing deliciousness.
The candied nuts cool down to become crunchy little flavour bombs.
You will need:
vegetable oil
maple syrup
soy sauce
rosemary
cayenne pepper
cumin
smoked paprika
garlic powder
salt
mixed raw unsalted nuts
mixed raw unsalted seeds
Cooks Tips:
- These nuts have just a little heat. If you like things spicy then add a little extra cayenne.
- Use your favourite nuts – cashews, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts etc…
- Use any seeds you like, pumpkin, sesame, chia, flax etc…
- These candied nuts should last for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
- Make it vegan: this recipe is naturally vegan.
- Make it gluten free: use tamari instead of soy sauce.

Drives me crazy when people rate a recipe without actually trying it first – here’s a 5 star review after making it. The nuts are really tasty and crunchy. I used almonds, cashews and macadamia nuts with pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds. Yummy.
