Ride Fuel - Rosemary + Thyme Spiced Nuts
Words and Photos by Lottie Bildirici
As the holiday season approaches and the pressure to find the perfect gifts are everywhere, I thought I would share one of my favorite gifts ideas….This recipe is a twist on a recipe my mom makes all the time – spiced nuts. It’s perfect to serve if you’re having guests over and it’s a lot cleaner than store-bought spiced nuts because the recipe has no added sugars or thickeners. It is super easy to make large batches of these nuts. I love gifting them in a mason jar with a ribbon and an attached a card with the recipe. The only thing better than sharing homemade treats is sharing them with the recipe. These nuts have been a staple in my family for years so I am excited to share them with you. Gift them, snack on them, or enjoy them with company.
Recipe :
-
- 3 cups whole nuts roasted + unsalted- I used a mix of brazil nuts, almonds, cashews + pecans
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped rosemary leaves
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons date sugar (you can omit or use any sugar you like- coconut sugar etc.)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Directions:
-
- Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and place nuts in a large mixing bowl
- Pour oil into a medium size sauce pan over medium heat. Do not let it get too hot or it will burn. Add in rosemary, thyme and paprika stir for about 1 minute
- Place oil mixture over nuts and mix until it is coated evenly
- Once nuts are mixed place them on a prepared baking tray with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle salt, date sugar and fresh ground pepper on nuts
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes
- Once cooled place in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer for up to one month
