05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

# Expert Hacks:

01 -
  • They taste restaurant-quality but come together in under 20 minutes, which means you can pull off impressive snacking or gifting with almost no stress.
  • Once you nail the basic version, you can riff endlessly—spicy, sweet, herbed, whatever mood you're in.
  • Your kitchen smells so good while they're roasting that your household will suddenly become very interested in what you're making.
02 -
  • The roasting time varies wildly depending on your oven—check them at 12 minutes first, because burnt nuts taste bitter and there's no coming back from that.
  • Stirring halfway through is not optional; it's the difference between evenly golden and a pan where some are dark and some are still pale.
03 -
  • If you have a nut allergy in your household, swap in seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds and apply the exact same logic—they'll roast beautifully and taste just as good.
  • The oil-to-nut ratio matters more than exact measures; you're aiming for a light, even coating, not a dressing.
