Roasted mixed nuts are the perfect snack! They’re lightly sweetened and a little bit spicy making for a wonderful flavor combination.
Hi y’all! It’s Becca from Two Places at Once and I’m so excited to share these roasted mixed nuts with you today. Only two weeks until Christmas! Are you ready? Do you have your menu planned? Don’t worry, I don’t either! But, I also don’t have to plan a menu for Christmas. All I will have to help out with is dessert and potentially appetizers.
That’s exactly why I decided to make these roasted mixed nuts! Before I serve anything to guests, I usually do a trial run to make sure I like the recipe. Since I might use this recipe for the upcoming holiday, I did a run through over the weekend and the recipe worked out perfectly.
I opted to use pecans, cashews and almonds because they are not only some of my favorite nuts, but also because I love the different textures from each nut. The molasses adds a touch of sweetness while the cayenne pepper adds some heat. The rosemary is super aromatic and made my mouth water the entire time the nuts were roasting!
Now that I know the recipe works, I know I can use it for guests! Do you have any recipes you plan on using for Christmas?
