Air Fryer Roasted Mixed Nuts
Description
Crisp, herb-coated mixed nuts roasted in the air fryer in about 10 minutes. Includes the shake-and-stagger method so almonds and pecans finish at the same time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw mixed nuts, almonds, pecan halves, walnut halves, cashews
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 325°F (163°C) for 3 minutes.
- In a small ramekin, stir together the olive oil, rosemary, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the mixed nuts in a small mixing bowl. Pour the oil and herb mixture over them and toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the nuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed — do not crowd.
- Roast at 325°F for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket at 3 minutes and again at 6 minutes. Begin checking closely at 8 minutes.
- Remove when the nuts smell toasty and look one shade lighter than your target color; they continue browning off the heat.
- Spread on a plate or sheet pan in a single layer and cool completely — about 10 minutes. They crisp as they cool.
Equipment
- Small mixing bowl
- small ramekin
Notes
- For mixes with widely varying nut sizes, stagger the additions: almonds and hazelnuts first for 3 minutes, then cashews and macadamias for 2 minutes, then pecans and walnuts for the final 5.
- Always use raw nuts, not pre-roasted.
- Cool completely before storing or they'll soften. Airtight at room temperature up to 2 weeks, refrigerated 1 month, frozen 6 months.
