Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed raw nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), black pepper, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and combined.

Step 3

Add the mixed raw nuts to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 4

Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even roasting.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool for 5–10 minutes. The nuts will become crisp as they cool.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the cooled nuts with fresh chopped rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 8

Transfer the savory nuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or salad topping.
