With the holiday season just around the corner (sorry!) these nuts are perfect little gifts to make. Pop them into a lovely jar with a pretty ribbon and it’s such a thoughtful homemade gift.

They’re also perfect for sitting out in bowls around the house during the holiday season… or any time of the year, really. The rosemary and lemon zest gives them an added dimension of flavour over your usual spiced nuts tastes, and the buttery sweetness of the pecans crates a moreish snack.

I used olive oil, but you could use ghee or butter, if you prefer. If you use butter, make sure to keep a close eye on them in the oven because butter will burn easily.

This is my first online recipe comment ever.  These are the best savory nuts I've had.  I discovered this recipe a month ago and have made these four times.  They have been a well-received holiday gift and are simply addicting.  Thanks for perfecting and sharing this recipe!

Thank you so much Diane, I'm glad you enjoyed! ❤

Do you store in refrigerator?

I store mine at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

I will totally be posting this on my website!  I did 3 types of nuts; hazelnuts, almonds, pecans.  Used dried rosemary.  Taking right now to July 4th BBQ and can't wait to break them out!  Delicious!

Thank you Susan, that combo sounds amazing!

These were wonderful! I made them in place of the cinnamon sugar nuts I usually bring to work around Christmas but these were great in their own right!
I changed the recipe a little to make it easier. I used 2 tsp ground dried rosemary instead of 4 tbsp fresh. I used regular salt, not Himalayan, and I used 1/2 tsp sumac instead of lemon zest. Also, it only took 3 tbsp olive oil to coat the 4 cups of nuts.
Beautiful and I don't even miss the sweet cinnamon nuts. Thank you.

Thank you for the tips, Lulu!
