Rosemary & Smoked Sea Salt Roasted Walnuts image

An easy to prepare and cook savoury snack with walnuts, smoked sea salt and fresh rosemary. We enjoyed these roasted walnuts with our aperitifs and I also served the rest of them with the cheese and salad course. I plan to make some more of these and use them for salads, they would be absolutely brilliant with a hot chèvre (goat's cheese) salad, as well as making great gifts for friends and family.
