Years ago Tyler and I went to a farmer’s market and we met a woman who was selling canned vegetables and various types of seasoned nuts. She had these Rosemary Walnuts out as a sample, and when I tasted them – I was hooked instantly.

They were salty, savory and just SO good.

Then she told me they were $10 for a teeny tiny jar of them that held about a handful of walnuts (no joke).

They were so good I ALMOST bought them… but then I remembered that Tyler and I can recreate pretty much anything in the kitchen – so that’s how these Healthy Rosemary Toasted Walnuts were born!

How to toast walnuts in the oven:

Toasting walnuts is very simple. I like to toss walnuts in olive oil and simply spread out on a parchment lined baking sheet.
You can toast your walnuts for about 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees until the outside is crispy

How to toast walnuts on the stove top:

You can follow the recipe as listed below on the stovetop by cooking over medium high heat for 10-12 minutes

These Healthy Rosemary Toasted Walnuts are way better than the overpriced ones at the farmer’s market, and they’re so easy to make! They’re perfect as a great snack, salad add in, savory topping in a dish or hummus… really any way you want to eat them!

Substitutions for this recipe:

Herbs– If rosemary isn’t your favorite, you can sub thyme on these toasted walnuts. You can also sub fresh rosemary for dried rosemary by cutting the amount from 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary to only 1/2 tablespoon dried rosemary
Oil- You can use olive or avocado oil to roast these walnuts
Extra spices – Feel free to add garlic powder, or even a little chili powder to these walnuts for a kick.

Ways to use these Healthy Rosemary Toasted Walnuts:

In a salad. This Strawberry Avocado Goat Cheese Salad is my favorite!
On a cheeseboard
As a healthy snack (these Healthy Roasted Chickpeas are another one of my favorite snacks!)
