Ooo! Those sound good too. How do you know how long to roast them? That's the big question I have.

Rosemary Walnuts (lots)

melt together:
5 T butter
4 t rosemary dried, crumbled
2 t salt
1 t cayenne

Pour over 4 c walnuts, toss to coat

bake on 4 cookie sheets-350 10 min


I owe this recipe to nonelvis , as well as the knowledge that it goes better than anything else with blue cheese.

The original proportions and recipe, from Gourmet via food network is here:

Melt the butter with the rosemary, salt and cayenne. Pour mixture over walnuts, and toss them to coat. Bake the nuts on a cookie sheet in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Ooo, thank you!

I've noticed almost all herbed roasted nut recipes I have come across so far have cayenne. I wonder if that's one of those Required Things that you might or might not taste enough to identify, but if it's not there, the recipe simply flops.
