These are a savory and aromatic blend perfect for snacking or entertaining! To create this delightful nut mix, start with four cups of your favorite unroasted nuts. I chose a combination of 2 cups of cashews, 1 cup of pecan halves, and 1 cup of almonds for a diverse and satisfying blend.
In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over low heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of molasses, adjusting the quantity based on your desired level of sweetness. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, finely chopped, for a savory and aromatic twist.
Toss the unroasted nuts in the molasses mixture until evenly coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt for a perfect balance of flavors. Roast in the oven until the nuts are golden and fragrant.
The result? Rosemary Roasted Nuts that are not only easy to make but also a flavorful and satisfying snack. Enjoy the savory aroma and crunch of these roasted nuts in every bite!
