    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.

    Roasted Nuts - a great edible Christmas gift

    Spiced nuts make an awesome edible gift at Christmas. They don't take long to make and they're a decadent treat that anyone is sure to love.

    Just spoon them into little jars with an extra sprig of rosemary and put on the lid and add a bow.

    Anyone is sure to love them. 

    If you're looking for more edible gifts to go with them, try my Salted Chocolate Honeycomb (it's vegan and gluten free and soooo decadently delicious). Ginger Pecan Brittle is also wonderful in a little bag with a bow to give at Christmas!

      Based on the images, it looks like you use fresh rosemary. Is that the case?

      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.

      Rosemary and maple sound like a really great combo. I'll have to try this recipe with peanuts.

      I make spiced nuts every holiday and give them as gifts. Your recipe sounds amazing, and I really love the fresh rosemary. That must give it such a festive flavor and aroma.
