Ingredients

For the Nuts

1 cup Almonds Provide crunch and protein; substitute walnuts for a different texture.
1 cup Pecans Adds a buttery flavor; can be replaced with hazelnuts based on personal taste preference.
1 cup Raw Cashews Contributes creaminess and richness; opt for roasted cashews for a deeper flavor profile.

For the Seasoning

2 tablespoons Olive Oil Used for coating and roasting; substitute with avocado oil for a higher smoke point.
2 teaspoons Rosemary Imparts fragrant herbal notes; fresh rosemary is recommended, but dried can be used in a pinch.
2 teaspoons Thyme Offers an earthy flavor; substitute with oregano if unavailable.
1 teaspoon Sugar Balances the savory flavors; use coconut sugar or maple sugar for a healthier alternative.
1 teaspoon Paprika Adds mild heat and color; smoked paprika can enhance the smoky flavor profile.
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Provides a subtle kick; adjust quantity based on the desired spice level.
1/2 teaspoon Cumin Offers warmth and depth; omit if a milder flavor is preferred.
1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall taste; consider sea salt for a more complex flavor.

Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes. Add rosemary and thyme to infuse the oil, then remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Stir in sugar, paprika, black pepper, cumin, and salt into the cooled oil mixture.
Combine almonds, pecans, and raw cashews in a large bowl. Pour infused oil mixture over nuts and stir to coat evenly.
Spread nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until golden brown.
Allow nuts to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before serving.
