Note
Storage: Store cooled nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Reheating: To refresh stale nuts, reheat in a 300ðF (150ðC) oven for 5-7 minutes until warm and crisp.
Substitutions: You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or melted coconut oil. Dried rosemary can be used instead of fresh, but use half the amount (approx. 3/4 tsp) as it is more concentrated.
Tip: Keep a close eye on the nuts during the last minute of baking, as they can burn quickly due to the oil.
