Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for pan
  • 4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 3 cups whole roasted unsalted cashews (14 ounces)
  • 2 cups whole walnut halves (7 ounces)
  • 2 cups whole pecan halves (7 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup whole almonds (3 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 4 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Brush a sheet pan generously with vegetable oil.  Combine the cashews, walnuts, pecan and almonds in a large bowl.  In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the maple syrup, brown sugar and orange juice.  Pour mixture over the mixed nuts and stir to fully incorporate.  Add 2 tablespoons of the rosemary and 2 teaspoons of salt and toss again to coat the nuts evenly.  Turn onto the prepared sheet pan.

  3. Spread the nuts in one layer. Roast for 25 minutes, stirring twice with a large metal spatula, until the nuts are glazed and golden brown.  Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons of rosemary. Toss well and set aside at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking as they cool. Taste for seasoning. 

  4. Serve warm or cool completely and store in airtight containers at room temperature.
