Steps:
- 1. Mix almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, maple syrup, cayenne, oregano, sage, thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, and oil in a 10- by 15-inch rimmed pan. Sprinkle nuts with 1 teaspoon salt. 2. Bake in a 300° oven, stirring occasionally, until all liquid evaporates and nuts are golden under the skin (break open to test), about 45 minutes. 3. Let cool. Taste and add more salt if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right nuts: Not all nuts are created equal when it comes to roasting. Some nuts, like almonds and walnuts, have a higher oil content and roast more evenly than others, like cashews and peanuts.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to roasted nuts. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Roast the nuts at the right temperature: The ideal roasting temperature for nuts is between 300 and 325 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature will help the nuts to roast evenly without burning.
- Stir the nuts frequently: Stirring the nuts frequently during roasting will help them to roast evenly. It will also prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcook the nuts: Overcooked nuts are dry and tough. Keep an eye on the nuts while they are roasting and remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.
- Let the nuts cool before serving: Roasted nuts are best served warm, but it is important to let them cool slightly before serving. This will help them to crisp up.
Conclusion:
Roasted nuts are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used in a variety of recipes. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. By following these tips, you can roast nuts perfectly every time.
