I 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.

I’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!
Anyways, 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!
These 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!

They ARE pretty darn addicting!
Yum! I love anything with rosemary. So nice to see a savory recipe for toasted walnuts – they’re so often sweet!
Same here! I love the sweet, candied walnuts – but sometimes I want something more savory in my salads.
You can really go wrong with a salad if you don’t have fun with it–I agree! Salads are really good if you get creative with them! I think that these walnuts will add some amazing crunch, flavor and healthy fats and vitamins to any salad!

Thanks! It definitely gives a nice flavor!
That sounds super delicious!
Thanks, Anne! They’re really tasty.
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?
I make them that way too! Both recipes are equally delicious!
These look delicious. I imagine they smell fantastic too. I bet you could do this with chickpeas too- roast them with rosemary. Yummm. Pinning!

Rosemary is one of my most favorite herbs. I’ve never tried making herbed nuts but it’s a great idea.
It’s one of my favorite herbs too – so tasty!

They’re such a great snack, Brittany! Your kitchen will for sure smell amazing:)
I’ve always made toasted walnuts sweet but this rosemary twist is a great idea! Thanks so much 🙂 Great website btw
I love making sweeter walnuts too, but these are so savory and yummy!
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.
Thanks, Linda! I’m lucky that he’s a genius in the kitchen! Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs too – so delicious!!
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
🙂 What can I say.. hes a great cook!! I love trying to recreate dishes but sometimes it is really tough!
This would be perfect on a salad! Yum! I love it when things can be recreated at home. It’s such a money saver!

Thanks, Kari! I loved the rosemary in these!
I’ve never thought about trying savoury nuts at home before – definitely need to give this a go!
Ali (My Big Fit Diary)
They’re really delicious, Ali! Normally I go for sweeter things, but these were a nice change!
This is genius! I’d much rather add the flavoring myself and know what’s in it anyway. Great idea!!! I have a Rosemary plant in my kitchen window.. This is so happening!
Thank you so much, Sarah! I envy your rosemary plant. I don’t have a green thumb at all and can’t keep herbs alive! Hope you like this recipe 🙂
This sounds amazing! Pinning for sure!
Yay! I hope you love it, Karly!
