Rosemary Roasted Mixed Nuts
Brushing the nuts with a thin coat of whisked egg white before seasoning is what makes the herbs and salt actually stick, instead of falling to the bottom of the pan.
Ingredients
- 3 cups mixed raw nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans)
- 1 egg white
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
Method
- 1
Preheat oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk the egg white until slightly frothy, then toss the nuts in it until lightly and evenly coated — this thin egg white wash is what gives the seasoning something to cling to; tossing dry seasoning onto plain nuts just has it fall straight to the bottom of the pan.

Sprinkle the coated nuts with rosemary, smoked paprika, and salt, tossing again to distribute evenly.

Spread in a single layer and bake 20-25 minutes, stirring every 8-10 minutes, until dry and toasted.

Cool completely on the sheet — they'll crisp up further and the coating will set as they cool.
