These Rosemary Honey Roasted Nuts are savory, sweet, and totally addicting thanks to the rosemary and cayenne pepper, with a touch of honey for sweetness.
It’s party season, and I’m all about delicious snacks! When you’re planning a cocktail party, it’s tempting to go all out with complicated appetizer recipes. But sometimes, it’s nice to keep things simple and stick to easy nibbles and finger foods for my get together. Roasted nuts are one of my favorite nibbles when it comes to entertaining because they’re low maintenance.
I used a mix of pecans, almonds, and cashews in mine, but you can use whatever mix of nuts you prefer. These make wonderful gift too!
These Rosemary Honey Roasted Nuts are exactly the kind of recipe that’s perfect for entertaining. They take less than 15 minutes to make, yet they’re so tasty and something people just love to snack on. They also make a great addition to your cheese platter – that sweet and savory flavor combination is just irresistible. The best part though? Pair them with your favorite wine!
Honestly, the hardest thing about these yummy Rosemary Honey Roasted Nuts is trying not to eat the whole batch. 
Time to make a batch of these roasted nuts, invite some friends over, and serve them with some sparkling wines.
