Vegan Spiced Mixed Nuts
These roasted mixed nuts hit every note you want in a snack — smoky, a little sweet, faintly herby, and just enough heat to keep you reaching back into the bowl. Almonds, pecans, cashews, and walnuts get tossed in a glaze built from maple syrup, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, and a pinch of cayenne, so the flavor is genuinely complex without a single animal-derived ingredient in sight. Fresh rosemary goes on right out of the oven, which blooms its fragrance into the hot glaze in a way that dried herbs simply can't replicate. The whole thing bakes at a low 325°F, giving the nuts time to turn deep golden and the coating time to set into that satisfying crunch rather than staying sticky. Store-bought spiced nuts often sneak in honey or butter, so making your own is the easiest way to know exactly what you're eating. This batch serves 8, making it a smart choice for a party spread, a holiday gift jar, or just a week's worth of genuinely good snacking.
