Pecans, Walnuts, Almonds and Brazil Nuts are roasted in a slow oven until fragrant and lightly golden. Kissed with fresh rosemary and a hints of a sweet-salty flavor. No overwhelming flavors, all complement each other.
The Method:
Warm extra virgin olive oil with chopped rosemary leaves, and seasonings ~ maple syrup, ancho chile powder, (or your favorite chili seasoning) coconut palm sugar and sea salt. Give a big stir to get the flavors blending and add the mixed nuts. Choose the nuts you like best, I think this is a terrific assortment.
Place on a parchment lined rimmed baking pan and cook in a slow 300 degree oven until golden and crispy. The low oven lets the nuts develop color slowly without burning. Total cooking time is 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
