Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat so the maple syrup doesn't get stuck to the pan (this is important). Pour the almonds, pecans and pepitas onto the pan and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the optional rosemary (or any other added seasonings), maple syrup, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and cayenne (if you using). Gently whisk until blended.
- Pour the mixture over the nuts on the prepared baking sheet. Stir well, until all of the nuts are lightly coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer across the pan (the maple syrup will pool on the bottom of the pan, but that's okay).
- Bake, stirring after the first 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter, until almost no maple syrup remains on the parchment paper and the nuts are deeply golden, 23 to 26 minutes. (The maple syrup coating will be a little sticky right out of the oven, but will harden as the pecans cool.)
- Remove the pan from the oven and stir the nuts one more time, spreading them into an even layer across the pan. Let them cool down for about 10 minutes, then, while the nuts are still warm, carefully separate any large clumps (this may or may not be necessary).
- Let the nut mixture cool completely on the pan. These will keep for up to 2 months in a sealed bag at room temperature.

I find this technique much easier than the stovetop pan method. You'll get beautiful, perfectly frosted nuts that are roasted evenly, with no bitter burned spots.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet over low heat. Add the worcestershire sauce, paprika, hot pepper sauce, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne. Mix well.
- Add the nuts and toss well to coat. Cook for 20-25 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently, until the nuts are lightly toasted. Drain on paper towels and serve hot, or store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right nuts: Not all nuts are created equal when it comes to roasting. Some nuts, like almonds and pecans, have a higher oil content and will roast more evenly than others, like walnuts and cashews.
- Use a flavorful oil: The oil you use to roast the nuts will impart flavor, so choose one that you enjoy. Olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil are all good options.
- Add seasonings: Before roasting, toss the nuts with your favorite seasonings. Salt and pepper are a classic combination, but you can also add herbs, spices, or even a little bit of sugar.
- Roast the nuts at a high temperature: This will help them to brown and crisp up. The exact temperature will depend on the type of nuts you're roasting, but a good general rule of thumb is to roast them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
- Keep an eye on the nuts: Nuts can burn easily, so it's important to keep an eye on them while they're roasting. Stir them occasionally to ensure that they're evenly browned.
- Let the nuts cool: Once the nuts are roasted, let them cool completely before you enjoy them. This will help them to crisp up even more.
Conclusion:
Roasting nuts at home is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and healthy snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create your own custom-flavored nuts that are perfect for snacking, baking, or adding to salads and other dishes. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, give roasted nuts a try!
