Roasted Party Nuts Ingredients
You only need a few simple ingredients to make the best party nuts! In fact, you probably already have all the ingredients hanging around your pantry and refrigerator!
- Raw Nuts: You can use any nut or combination of nuts for this recipe! Be sure to purchase unsalted and raw (not roasted) nuts for this recipe! (Please see below for the best varieties of nuts to roast!)
- Butter: A little unsalted butter provides a depth of rich, buttery flavor to these mixed nuts!
- Rosemary: Aromatic fresh rosemary gives the nuts a festive, sage-like, slightly peppery flavor!
- Brown Sugar: A tablespoon of light brown sugar adds a layer of robust, complex, caramel-like sweet flavor!
- Maple Syrup: A touch of pure maple syrup helps make these nuts slightly sweet! Make sure you use real maple syrup, and not the artificial pancake kind!
- Cumin: A teaspoon of ground cumin provides a warm, earthy and slightly smoky flavor that brings out the delicious sweetness in these party nuts!
- Cayenne: Cayenne pepper adds some slight heat and balances the sweetness of the sugar and maple syrup. You can easily scale back on the amount of cayenne; however, don’t leave it out completely!
- Sea Salt and Black Pepper: A bit of kosher salt provides a subtle saltiness and also enhances all the other flavors! While freshly cracked black pepper helps round out the flavor profile.
Flavor variations
Do you want to make a few substitutions or additions to this recipe? Go for it! I encourage you to get creative in the kitchen and make these snack nuts your own! Below are a few ideas to help get you started!
- Dairy-Free nuts: If you’re looking to make dairy-free roasted nuts or vegan alternative, you swap out the butter for any neutral oil with a high-smoke point, such as grape-seed. Or you can match the oil to the nut, for example, using almond oil or walnut oil.
- Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract will add a subtle layer of inviting flavor that pairs perfectly with the nuts and maple syrup! Make sure you use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor!
- Rosemary Nuts: Follow the recipe below!
- Sweet Nuts: To prepare sweet nuts (sans the spicy and the herbaceous), omit the rosemary and the cayenne from the recipe. Increase the maple syrup to 1 tablespoon.
- Spicy Nuts: If you are looking for extra-spicy nuts, double the amount of cayenne pepper (or simply scale it up a bit). You can either omit the rosemary or keep it, depending upon if your preference.
- Bourbon mixed nuts: If you want a warming, slightly boozy flavor, try adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of bourbon to the butter mixture before tossing and roasting!
- Cinnamon party nuts: If you are looking for an ultra cozy, sweet and spicy snack, swap out the cumin for ground cinnamon!
What are the best nuts to roast?
Think of this roasted nut recipe as a guide to creating the best homemade nut mix! You can easily use any nut variety or combination of nuts you and your family love – just be sure to use whole, raw, unsalted nuts!
- Cashews: Roasting cashews enhances their sweet flavor and adds a little extra crunch in the process!
- Peanuts: Toasting peanuts brings out their crunchy texture and nutty flavor!
- Pecans: Toasting pecans brings out their nutty aroma.
- Walnuts: Roasting walnuts removes their bitterness.
- Hazelnuts: Oven roasting intensifies hazelnuts unique flavor and develops their beautiful color! Be sure to use skinless (peeled) hazelnuts in this recipe!
- Pepitas (pumpkin seeds): Pepitas become wonderfully toasty and crunchy after roasting! Their neutral flavor makes them perfect for roasting as they absorb whatever flavors you use to season them!
- Almonds: Roasting almonds gives the otherwise bland nuts a bold, rich flavor!
- Pine nuts: While pine nuts are delicious, I don’t recommend roasting them as they are prone to burning quickly!
How to: roasting nuts at home
This snack nut recipe is so simple and totally fool-proof! Plus, there’s only 5 minutes of hands-on preparation – it’s as easy as season, melt, stir and bake!!
- Season the nuts: Add your favorite nut(s) to a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle the sugar and spices over the nuts and mix to coat. Set aside.
- Prepare butter mixture: Melt the butter either using your microwave or stovetop. Once melted, stir in the fresh rosemary and let sit for 1 minute. Next, stir in the maple syrup.

- Spread on a sheet pan: Spread the nuts evenly out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the nuts are fragrant and golden in color, tossing once halfway through baking.
- Optional: For the most flavor, sprinkle the nuts with Turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw) and flakes of sea salt.
- Cool: Remove the nuts from the oven and give them a good stir. Set aside and allow the nuts to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.

Expert tips for the best roasted nuts
- Nuts: You will need 2 1/2 cups of raw and unsalted nuts for the recipe. These photos show my favorite iteration of this recipe, made with 3/4 Cup Peanuts, 3/4 Cup Cashews, 1/3 Cup Walnuts, 1/3 Cup Almonds and 1/3 Cup Pecans. However, you can simply use one variety of nut if you like!
- Cayenne: The recipe below calls for 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne, but if you aren’t a fan of spicy food you can easily scale the cayenne back to 1/8 teaspoon or less! However, I wouldn’t omit it completely as it adds a layer of complexity that can’t be beat!
- For best flavor, make the nuts in advance: Seasoning and roasting the nuts a few hours (or a day) in advance of serving them allow the nuts to really soak up the flavors, which makes them taste even better! If you prepare these in advance, allow the nuts to cool completely before transferring them to a container with a tight fitting lid.

Storing and freezing instructions
Storage: How to keep roasted nuts fresh?
Unfortunately, roasted nuts spoil much faster than raw nuts as they’re more prone to oxidation. To keep your nuts fresher for longer, please follow the expert tips below for properly storing your nuts!
- No odors: Nuts will absorb odor, so be sure to keep them away from anything aromatic, such as onions or garlic!
- Dark and cool: Light can cause nuts to expire faster after roasting. Make sure you store them in a cool, dark place, such as the pantry!
- Airtight container: Always make sure you store your spiced nuts in an airtight container to keep them fresh, regardless of if you are keeping them in the refrigerator, freezer or at room temperature!
- Line the container: To keep your homemade nuts mix as dry as possible, line the storage container with a sheet (or two) of paper towel. The towel will soak up any extra oil that can cause the nuts to taste slightly rancid.
- Refrigerator or freezer: Heat and humidity can cause nuts to spoil much faster. To keep your nuts fresh for a longer period of time, consider storing them in the refrigerator or the freezer.
How long will snack nuts keep?
Roasted nuts can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks to 3 months, depending upon where you store them! For longer storage, the fridge or freezer is ideal!
- Room Temperature: Store roasted nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- Refrigerator: Keep nuts in a resealable bag or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- Freezer: Nuts will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months! Make sure you store them in a freezer-safe resealable bag and portion them into individual snack-portions for easy grab-and-go treats!
Snack nuts: FAQ
Why roast nuts?
There are two reasons why people roast nuts – to either shell the nut or enhance the nuts flavor! There are two main types of roasting, dry roasting and oil roasting. As the names suggests, dry roasting involves roasting without any oil, while oil roasting uses oil. While roasting typically indicates the oven and toasting denotes a skillet and the stovetop, you can use both words interchangeably.
- Flavor! The simple process of roasting (or toasting) enhances a nut all around – bringing out its flavor and magnifying its crunchy texture!
- Shelling! Sometimes roasting is simply used to separate the nutshell from the kernel.
How do you get seasonings to stick to nuts?
Spices will easily stick to nuts if you drizzle them with melted butter (see my recipe below)! Some other recipes, such as candied nuts, call for nuts to be tossed with egg whites while others will blanch the nuts in boiling water.
How to tell when nuts are done roasting?
Nuts very rarely take longer than 18 minutes to roast in the oven, so I suggest checking on them at the 15 minute mark! If they don’t appear darker in color and smell like nutty heaven, return them to the oven for another 2-3 minutes.
To test nuts for doneness, carefully (they’re hot!) pick up a nut and try to snap in in half. If it snaps crisply and easily, they are done roasting!
Are nuts healthier raw or roasted?
Both raw and roasted nuts provide health benefits! Nuts are rich in protein, fiber and Vitamin E, along with several heart-healthy substances, like Omega-3 fatty acids.
While roasted snack nuts contain more calories and sugar than raw ones, they still provide the same protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats as raw nuts! However, it is worth noting that some of the nutrients in nuts are sensitive to heat; therefore, some are slightly diminished during the roasting process.

Continue to microwave at 50% power for 10 second increments until just melted. Stir in the rosemary and set aside for 1 minute. Stir in the maple syrup. Set aside.(On the Stovetop) In a medium sized sauté pan, over medium low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup. Set aside.
- Season nuts: Place the nuts in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar, cumin, cayenne, salt and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.

Notes
- Nuts: You will need 2 1/2 cups of nuts for the recipe, and while I used a combination of nuts, you can use a single variety or two varieties of nut if desired! Use your favorite nut, whatever you have on hand, or whatever is cheapest at the store! For those of you wondering, shown in the photos is: 1 Cup Cashews with 1/2 cup each: Peanuts, Walnuts & Pecans.
- Nuts continued: Please use RAW and UNSALTED nuts in this recipe!
- Cayenne: The recipe calls for 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne, but if you aren't a fan of spicy food, scale the cayenne back to 1/8 teaspoon! If you love spicy food, you can increase the cayenne to 1/2 teaspoon.
- These nuts get better with time: Preparing and roasting the nuts a few hours (or a day) in advance of serving them is strongly recommended! The extra time really allows the nuts to really soak up all the flavors, making them taste even better! If you prepare these in advance, allow the nuts to cool completely before transferring them to a container with a tight fitting lid. Store at room temperature until ready to serve!

Need to make a batch for the holidays Chey! Nobody ever passes up nuts like these on a cheeseboard! Love them for gifting too!
I’m so glad you reminded me about these fabulous nuts, Chey! They really are addictive and such a welcome break from all of the holiday sweets like cookies and candy. They make a great edible gift too!
Simply amazing! Glad I have extra ingredients so I can make more for tomorrow’s guests. These will not stick around long!!
was shy about too much of some seasonings; so I used only 1/2 of the rosemary, cumin and cayenne and butter. Many complements!! I also salted the mix as it came out of the oven warm, and added some craisins.
I made this today and couldn’t stop eating. Thanks for the recipe.
Hello, how many grams total does this recipe make?
Hi there! This recipe yields approximately 2 ½ cups. Unfortunately, I don’t have the precise weight in grams. Cheers and warm wishes for a wonderful day!
Love these! I even forgot the maple syrup and they turned out fab. This is only my second time making seasoned roasted nuts, and wow, what an easy upgrade for a cheese plate! These are my fave so far with the fresh rosemary, thanks for posting. Saving to make forever!
Hi Abby,
I’m so thrilled you loved this recipe and I’m absolutely honored you are saving this to make forever!! Yay! Thank you so much for coming back and letting me know how everything went over! Cheers! 🙂
What happened to the video? I must have saved an earlier version of this because it called for 4 cups of nuts for the same butter, etc, and didn’t have the microwave version (which I prefer unless the butter explodes, as it usually does because I do it too fast and forget to cover the bowl) 🙂
Hi Cheryl,
I’m not sure if you are thinking about another recipe, but I haven’t changed the video or this recipe. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!! 🙂
Love this recipe.
As a personal choice we add in 1/2 tsp chipotle chili flakes for heat and smokiness.
One piece of advice: continue mixing them as they cool so all the melted sugar sticks to them.
Last piece of advice: don’t even bother if you aren’t going to double the recipe.
THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!!!!!!
Hi Gabrielle,
I’m thrilled you love the recipe!! Adding chipotle sounds amazing – I’m definitely trying that next time I make these!! Thank you so much for coming back and leaving a review and a piece of (great) advice! Cheers!! 🙂
Omw, OUTSTANDING! I made a double batch of these! I love taking them with me on my hikes!, it’s a great pick me up! I didn’t have fresh rosemary ( stay at home order) but my dried rosemary worked fine!
Thank you for this recipe!
Hi Chamron,
I’m absolutely thrilled you enjoyed these mixed nuts!! And, I’m so happy to hear you were able to make them work with dried rosemary – that’s wonderful to know! Thank you so much for coming back and letting me know how everything went over! Cheers!!!
Instead of using butter, will this recipe still work well with substituting it with coconut oil or avocado oil? Can’t wait to try this out! Just trying to avoid butter if I can. Thanks in advance!
Hi Carla,
I completely understand trying to avoid butter! Unfortunately, I have only made and tested this recipe as written. However, I don’t see why coconut oil wouldn’t work, but I would make sure the coconut oil is melted. If you are nervous to try it out, you could cut the recipe in half and test it. (To quickly and easily scale the recipe, use your mouse and hover over the number of servings. Adjust the servings down and that will automatically adjust the measurements of the ingredients for you.) If you try it, I would love to hear how it turns out!
Cheers,
Cheyanne
Looks delish – can’t wait to try! Does it matter if you sauté as the recipe says or microwave as in the video? Thank you
Hi RM,
You can microwave it! Thank you so much for catching that, I updated the recipe to reflect that change. 🙂 Happy holidays!!
I tried to make these roasted nuts and boy! It made the whole party epic!
I’ve tried purchasing my nuts on this site, but your view will be much appreciated. Do you think it offers best deals for cheap bulk nuts? (Bulk National USA dot com)
If not, can you recommend me stores that offer high-quality nuts so that I can make this recipe again? While most of my buddies loved it, I’m somehow meticulous when it comes to taste, I only bought my nuts at a local store and I’m not really impressed.
Hi Ann,
I’m thrilled you enjoyed this mixed nuts recipe!
I have never ordered nuts from the website you mentioned, so I can’t offer any advice there. As far as purchasing high-quality nuts, I usually just purchase mine in the organic section of my grocery store. Since the nuts will be generously seasoned and roasted, it’s not as important that the quality be superior. If you were eating them raw, sure, I’d say get the best quality nuts you can find! I hope that helps?! Cheers and thank you so much for stopping by!
I made a double batch of these following the “less spicy” (1/2 the cayenne) alternate and they were delicious! Since I have to be gluten, soy and dairy free I used my homemade grass-fed ghee instead of the butter! Thanks for the recipe.
The best! Definitely a family favorite and so easy to make. The flavor is just amazing. Thanks!
Hi Brittany,
I’m so thrilled you and your family love these roasted nuts!! Thank you so much for coming back and letting me know how everything went over!! Cheers!
Great recipe, but you need a new name for “boy.” I cringed every time I was forced to read that. Just doesn’t flow.
Hi there. I’m sorry you don’t approve of the nickname “Boy” for my husband and you feel like it doesn’t “flow”, however that is what his parents have called him since he was little. Cheers.
I made a triple batch of these to go in Christmas gift bags. They can be made ahead of time and frozen. The difficult part is taking the rosemary leaves off the stems and giving them a fine chop. My mini food prep helps do the job. We love them and I will be making seven more batches this week. It takes about half an hour to make these including the time to prep the Rosemary. They are very good!
An easy way to remove rosemary leaves is to hold the top of the piece firmly in one hand and run thumb and pointer finger down along the stem, top to bottom. Do this over a plate or cutting board and you’re all set to chop.
That is exactly how I was trained to do it. It makes any herb with a sturdy stem so quick and easy to prep!
Oh, these look dangerous. I want to make these for a dairy-free friend. I was thinking coconut oil instead of the butter, but since it’s a saturated fat, would that have a weird and clumpy effect (highly technical culinary terms) after baking? Should I stick with high quality olive oil?
Hi Sally!
First of all, I LOVE your highly technical culinary terms!! 😉 I’m a huge fan of coconut oil and use it when I make granola, but I’ve never tried it with these nuts. The amount of butter (2 tablespoons) is so small that I would think you would be able to substitute coconut oil without having any weird clumping issues. But, If you want to err on the side of caution, I would use olive oil. If you try these with your substitution I hope you come back and let me know how it goes over! Also, please let me know if you have any other questions!! I’m always happy to help! Cheers!
Hi, I’m made them dairy free using miyokos cultured vegan butter. You can get it at Whole Foods, sprouts and Trader Joe’s . You measure it same as butter.
I made recipe twice. First time it wasn’t enough flavor even after it sat 2 days. So I changed it some. I tripled the brown sugar and maple syrup, and used 1.5 tsp of cayenne. Rosemary 3 heaping tsp. And I added 1.5 tbs thyme. My husband enjoyed it much more . Everyone’s taste buds a different. It’s dangerously good.
I served them with cocktails , I warmed them in warming drawer in cute glass cups!
Question – I just made my first batch and I am wondering if they usually come out of the oven looking wet. I wanted to test before I went on to do the rest of the nuts I bought. Would you mind getting back to me to let me know if this what
they look like coming out of the oven! thanks and Merry Christmas!!
Hi Bill,
I’m not quite sure what you are referring to when you say “wet”… but, no they should not be wet, especially after you allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. There is a video of this recipe which shows exactly what the nuts will look like out of the oven, so I would suggest you watch it (the video is located directly above the recipe). Are you using pure maple syrup?? Synthetic maple syrup (the stuff you use on pancakes), is not recommended for this recipe! Please let me know if you have any other questions or need further clarification! I’m always here to help!! Cheers and happy holidays! 🙂
I love spiced nuts, especially around the holidays! They make such a good snack and I love to give them away as gifts. I love all the spices and rosemary you’ve got goin’ on here, Cheyanne. YUM!!
What fun! A new lens to get to know….! And these nuts… let’s add them to Mary Ann’s cheese board? Yes please!!
My mouth is seriously salivating looking at these nuts Chey!! I love, love roasted nuts…so dangerous. I would eat this entire batch in one sitting, no problem!! I’m loving the flavours here. Yum!!!
Oh, now you’re talking about serious things, Chey! Infused with spices and herbs, roasted nuts make the perfect snack during the holiday season. This is also a highly addicting thing as I may easily eat a pound of it in no time (And this is the major reason I try not to make this at all) Love the addition of rosemary here – scrumptious!
I love making nuts like these for gifts during the holidays. Everyone gets overwhelmed with sweets and something spicy / savory stands out as something special!
I have a recipe for nuts similar to these so you don’t have to tell me how addicting they are! I would eat these up in one swoop and your photos are just gorgeous! You need to give me some lessons on video too because yours are so well done!
Nut Nirvana! Woman – I am going to say thank you in advance from my papa. He loves to nibble and these are right up his alley.
I love flavoured roasted nuts any time of year, but especially at Christmas! That top pic gives me all sorts of Christmas vibes and now I’m super excited 🙂 I would seriously eat soooo many of these and would almost consider not sharing, lol. Love the video too! Have a great week, girl!
OMG that lens is amazing. I feel like I could grab those nuts right off the screen! I’m so excited for Christmas cookie trays and I think these nuts would be a perfect addition to break up all the extra sweet cookies I have planned :). Have a great week, Cheyanne!
Yes to ALL of the mixed nuts! I love spicy and herby nuts…it’s a snack that I always reach for whenever its around. And I know I would have zero self-control when it came to these babies. Love the rosemary in here! My favorite herb to cook with. And I love your video, too! Pinned! Cheers to a great week!
This just got me reallyyyy excited for the holidays!! Well done! Cheers! xo
Such a great recipe for the holidays Chey! They’d be perfect on a cheese board or in little bags for gift giving. I the flavor of rosemary, so I know I’d love them! Awesome video once again!! Hope you have a wonderful week! XO
We make some sweet + spicy roasted nuts around the holidays too and they are so crazy addictive! I love that you added rosemary and I love that you used a mix of nuts – even more fun and festive! Plus these are so pretty to set out for snacking on during parties… or just all for me! YUM! XO
A D D I C T I V E but I wouldn’t want it any other way! Awesome. <3
I love roasted nuts, Cheyanne! I have a huge rosemary bush in the yard and always looking for ways to use it – so this is a win win for me – can’t wait to try this!
hi! I’m interested in making these ahead of time. Will they keep well in a jar for a week or so?
Hi Hannah!
The nuts can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. I wouldn’t recommend going over that. They are best eaten closer to the date they are prepared. Hope that helps and I hope if you give these a try you love them as much as we do! Cheers!
When you say to allow the nuts to develop flavour, do you mean letting them sit in the seasoning before toasting?
Hi Nick! If you are referring to the note in the recipe, I mean the nuts are best after they have been baked, cooled and allowed to soak up all that baked in flavor for an hour. Hope that clears up your question! Thank you so much for stopping by! Cheers! 🙂
When do you add the maple syrup ? it’s not in the directions.
So sorry about that Robin! Thank you for pointing that out! I corrected the recipe, you stir it into the melted butter once you remove it from the heat. Thank you for stopping by, I hope you give these Roasted Nuts a try! Warning- they are addictive! 😉 Cheers!
Yummy! Can’t wait to make this!
Sharon, Thank you for stopping by! Hope you enjoy these as much as my family does! Cheers!
I LOVE spiced nuts… Rosemary must be a nice under-taste – will definitely have to try these out!
Ruta, These are seriously addictive! Proceed with caution… lol! 😉
I know I’m not supposed to comment because I’m biased… But these are the greatest snack..
Boy, we need to stop eating them all and learn to share…. or not? 😉 xoxo
I could kill a few cups of that with some booze and cheese
Adam, I thought they would be perfect for New Years! Booze, Cheese, and These!
