Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat so the maple syrup doesn't get stuck to the pan (this is important). Pour the almonds, pecans and pepitas onto the pan and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the optional rosemary (or any other added seasonings), maple syrup, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and cayenne (if you using). Gently whisk until blended.
- Pour the mixture over the nuts on the prepared baking sheet. Stir well, until all of the nuts are lightly coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer across the pan (the maple syrup will pool on the bottom of the pan, but that's okay).
- Bake, stirring after the first 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter, until almost no maple syrup remains on the parchment paper and the nuts are deeply golden, 23 to 26 minutes. (The maple syrup coating will be a little sticky right out of the oven, but will harden as the pecans cool.)
- Remove the pan from the oven and stir the nuts one more time, spreading them into an even layer across the pan. Let them cool down for about 10 minutes, then, while the nuts are still warm, carefully separate any large clumps (this may or may not be necessary).
- Let the nut mixture cool completely on the pan. These will keep for up to 2 months in a sealed bag at room temperature.

SWEET, SALTY, SPICY PARTY NUTS
I find this technique much easier than the stovetop pan method. You'll get beautiful, perfectly frosted nuts that are roasted evenly, with no bitter burned spots.

Tips:
- Choose the right nuts: Choose nuts that will roast evenly and have a good flavor. Nuts like almonds, pecans, and walnuts are good choices.
- Use fresh nuts: Fresh nuts will have a better flavor than nuts that have been sitting around for a while. If you can, buy nuts in bulk and store them in the freezer until you are ready to use them.
- Roast the nuts properly: The key to getting perfectly roasted nuts is to roast them at a moderate temperature for a period of time. This will help to bring out the natural oils in the nuts and give them a crispy texture.
- Season the nuts to taste: Once the nuts are roasted, you can season them with a variety of different spices and herbs. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
- Store the nuts properly: Roasted nuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also store them in the freezer for up to six months.
Conclusion:
Roasted nuts are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to a variety of dishes. They are also a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. By following the tips above, you can easily make delicious roasted nuts at home.
