We love to serving these on either Thanksgiving or Christmas while we are waiting for our turkey to finish cooking. They are a huge hit with our family and our favorite nuts to eat. I also like to make a big batch so I have these on hand for a few weeks after as a snack.
If you love Thanksgiving like I do, then you may enjoy the Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce, the Substitute For Poultry Seasoning, or the Gluten-Free Cornbread Recipe!
Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Nuts: The easiest way to change the recipe is to vary which nuts you’re using. You can easily throw in some pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts, almonds, pecans, cashew nuts, walnuts, or hazelnuts.
See the recipe card for quantities.
Variations
Of course, you can vary the flavor of the roasted nuts depending on what you’re craving that day.
Additions:
- Herbs And Spices: Adding some fresh thyme, marjoram, or even use za'atar if you would like a more herbal note to the nuts. Sumac would add sweetness and citrus. Lemon zest would give the nuts another citrus note. You can use dried rosemary or other dried herbs but you will need to adjust the amount as dried herbs have a more powerful flavor.
- Sweet: Of course, you can drizzle just a little pure maple syrup on the nuts if you like a sweet flavor or add a touch of brown sugar to the nuts once they come out of the oven. I have added some chocolate chips to create a trail mix.
- Spicy: Add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a kick.
- Cheese: Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on the top once they are out of the oven.

How To Make Roasted Nuts: Step-By-Step
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. In a medium bowl, add the nuts and herbs.
Step 2
Add the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake for 3 hours and then take them out of the oven. Let rest for an hour to cool and crisp up.
Confidence Tip
Make sure the nuts are in a single layer on the baking sheet or they won’t roast evenly.
Store
Store at room temperature in an airtight container. These nuts will stay fresh and delicious for weeks.
Any raw unsalted nuts will work for this recipe. Walnuts, pecans, cashews, and even hazelnuts give the mix bright new flavors when they’re roasted.
Yes! Use any dried herbs you prefer but remember that they will be more potent than fresh so you will need to cut the amount down.
No. Use whole, unsalted nuts for the best texture. Chopped nuts will cook too quickly for this recipe.
You can keep enjoying them as a snack or use them on top of a salad for an added crunch. While these are a great snack, they also make a nice homemade gift for family or friends.
