    Cayenne-Rosemary Roasted Nuts Recipe

    Holidays are all about the sweets, at least that's how it seems when all those creamy cake recipes are being shared, the abundant cookies too, the fudge...

    We believe that savory snacks are silently making a comeback, though, just as they should because, from a Paleo standpoint, sugar really isn't all that good for us.

    Cayenne-Rosemary Roasted Nuts

    Definitely not in large amounts, nor in small doses. So, in this nutty recipe, we decided to omit every sweetener, instead focusing on the diverse flavors of the nuts and herbs. We love it and know you will too!

    Macadamias are just one of the nuts involved in this mix, but rest assured, the cayenne and rosemary complement them completely. Each bite is a gift of its own.

    They may be expensive; after all, their hard outer shell requires a lot of strength to open. Yet you will be rewarded with a creamy texture when eaten raw, thanks to their high-fat content. When roasted, you will still receive an abundant amount of magnesium, manganese, and vitamin B1.

    Roasted nuts are the perfect holiday snack (great for year-round snacking as well) and all too easy to nibble one at a time. A word of caution: they are highly addictive.

    They are crunchy, slightly spicy, and intensely flavored. Remember that this recipe is for a crowd, so make sure to pass the nut bowl around and share it among friends.

    Once they cool down from their time of toasting in the oven, you can then store them in an airtight container for 2 weeks - the perfect consumable gift?!

    5. Makes 6 cups.
