How To Make Roasted Nuts
This roasted nuts recipe will absolutely be one of the easiest things you’ll ever throw together. Everyone goes into a bowl, mixy-mixy, into the the oven for 15 minutes, and that’s it!
Once they’re roasted, be sure to let them cool for about 15 minutes. After that, I dare you to try and not eat them all.
For this recipe, make sure you only purchase raw nuts. Don’t buy something that is already cooked and seasoned. You will end up with scorched nuts. No one likes a scorched nut.
Time needed: 20 minutes
For the best roasted nuts, simply:
- Mix.
Mix all ingredients together, making sure the nuts are evenly coated.

Pour nuts onto a parchment linedย baking sheet. Roast at 350ยฐ for 15 minutes, tossing at the halfway point.
- Cool and enjoy!
After removing from the oven, let the nuts cool for 15-20 minutes.
Enjoy!
How To Serve Them
Let’s talk about the many places this roasted nuts recipe will shine. First off, your snacking options have just improved greatly. They are fantastic on their own. So much so that I have to watch my portions. I could eat my weight in these little beauties.
My children absolutely love these roasted nuts, too. Not only do they request them to munch on, but they are perfect for lunchboxes and easy snacks on the go for busy bodies
One of my favorite ways to enjoy this recipe is on a charcuterie or snack board. Perfectly salty and savory with a crunch is just what these roasted nuts are about. They would fit right in with any variety of meats and cheeses and other lovely munch’ems.
And, if your looking for another charcuterie/snack board player, try my quick pickled red onions. You can never go wrong with a great pickled onion.
Recipe Variations
In this particular recipe, I use cashews and almonds. They are our family’s favorites. However, you can absolutely use whatever nut or seed combination you like. Peanuts, pistachios, or macadamias would all be wonderful.
Seeds like sunflower and pumpkin would be delicious here. Just make sure you watch them very carefully during the roasting to avoid burning.
Roasted Nuts Recipe Essentials
Make sure you purchase RAW cashews and almonds. These are a great option!
Almonds are a superfood, too. You could easily just roast these with a little salt and oil and have a fantastic snack!
Smoked paprika is probably my favorite spice in the pantry. I put it on everything. I don’t even own regular paprika. Smoked, in my opinion, is superior and perfect on roasted nuts.
If you don’t have garlic in your arsenal, get it. You mustn’t go another day without it.
Granulated onion also ranks as a top contender in the spice cabinet. You have to have granulated onion. It’s non-negotiable.

Would walnuts and macadamias also work mixed in with the almonds and cashews?
I’ve never tried that before, but I bet they would be wonderful! As long as you’re using a similar size nut, I don’t think you’ll have any issue. Thank you so much for reaching out! Let me know how it turns out!
I just finished these and they are too salty (coming from someone who loves salt). I used a combo of pecans, walnuts, and almonds, if that matters. My question is how can I fix them now. Should I put them in a container and try to shake the extra salt off? Iโm also wondering if the nuts used matters, since the walnuts and pecans have grooves to hold more spices. These are Christmas gifts. So any advice you can give on how to fix it would be most appreciated.
Hi! I’m sorry you thought they were to salty. I’m not a huge salt lover, but have never had issue with these and serve them all the time. The groove may have in fact grabbed a lot of the seasoning. You can try shaking them off in a large bowl with a lid and adding in some plain nuts to help. Hope this helps. Have a great evening!
I’m thinking that may be the issue, as the almonds taste great. It’s just the walnuts and pecans that seem to be too salty. I’m going to do my best to shake them up before bagging them. On a side note, you turned me on to smoked paprika. I was never impressed with paprika before, but smoked paprika is another beast entirely.
Smoked Paprika is the superior paprika in my opinion. ๐
These are such a great snack! We love keeping them around! Thanks for the recipe!
We love these so much! Great recipe!
