Healthy Toasted Rosemary WalnutsI rarely ever share snack/appetizer recipes on here. I realized that back in Feb when the Superbowl happened and I didn’t have anything to share with you guys to bring to a party… oops! Since then, I’ve been trying to come up with my snacky/appetizer recipes, and I remembered that these Healthy Toasted Rosemary Walnuts were way back in the archives of my site. I had made them forever ago, posted the recipe + pretty much forgot about them until the other day.

Healthy Toasted Rosemary WalnutsI’m currently going through the fun (and totally not daunting) task of updating all of my recipes, which in case you were wondering.. there are about 200 of them… Oy. When I first started blogging, I thought it was better to just post post post as much as I could, which I now know isn’t necessarily the answer. As with all things in life quality always trumps quantity! Now I have a boatload of awesome recipes, that have basically nothing written in the post, terrible SEO, and cringeworthy photos. I’m slowly but surely going back and updating them all!

Healthy Toasted Rosemary WalnutsAnyways, these walnuts. Forever 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 Toasted Rosemary Walnuts were born!

Healthy Toasted Rosemary WalnutsThese Healthy Toasted Rosemary 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!

  7. Looks delicious. I’ve generally added brown sugar and cinnamon to my walnuts and cooked them on a castiron skillet, this is amazing too! Who would have thought?

  13. Rosemary is one of my most favorite herbs. I’ve never tried making herbed nuts but it’s a great idea.

  17. You go girl! Beating out the pricey farmers market product. All I can say is Tyler is brilliant!
    Since we eat nuts as a healthy snack quite often, I like the idea of kicking them up a notch with one of my favorite herbs, rosemary. It really sounds delectably perfect. These are definitely on my agenda to make.

  18. i think what i love best about this story was your faith in Tylers cooking/kitchen abilities!
    Im the same, if i eat or taste something i really like, i immediately am convinced i can make it at home. gets a bit difficult tho when im eating some crazy asian dish with a million spices.
    im definitely going to try these! they sound great
