Mixed Spiced Nuts

Ready in less than 30 minutes, these roasted Mixed Spiced Nuts make an easy and healthy sweet and savory snack for your next holiday celebration or party.

Whenever I'm entertaining and need a quick appetizer, I go straight to my freezer and grab whatever nuts I have on hand. I like to keep my freezer well-stocked with a variety of nuts, this way I always have something I can use.

These mixed nuts only take twenty minutes to make and you can use whatever unsalted nuts you have on hand. For this recipe, I included pecans, walnuts, cashews, and almonds.

How to Make Spiced Nuts

I like to use maple syrup to lightly sweeten the nuts and a bit of cayenne for some heat and a nice kick. Aromatic spices such as ground cumin, coriander and some all spice gives these nuts so much flavour. Finally, a bit of fresh rosemary adds a delicious herbal touch to these mixed spiced nuts.

Here's an overview of the ingredients and steps for making these spiced nuts. You can find the amounts needed in the recipe card at the end of this post.
