Yes! This recipe uses raw cashews, almonds, walnuts, and pecans but you can use any nut variety you have on hand. If you want to use seeds line the basket of your air fryer with tin foil and reduce the cooking time slightly since seeds are smaller and brown more quickly than whole nuts.

Are air fryers worth purchasing?

I love my air fryer and use it multiple times a week! I was hesitant at first because we have a small kitchen with very little storage space and I did not think I needed another small appliance. But it has completely changed how I cook. I use it for snacks like these savory herb roasted nuts, frozen vegetables, hamburger patties, steaks, french fries, and so much more. If you are on the fence it is absolutely worth it.

How do I get the seasoning to stick to the nuts?

The key is coating the nuts in oil first before adding the dry seasonings and nutritional yeast. Add the nuts and olive oil to a bowl and toss until every nut is evenly coated in oil. Then add the herbs, spices, and nutritional yeast and toss again until everything is evenly distributed. The oil acts as the binder that holds the seasoning to the nuts during air frying. Do not skip this step or pour the oil and seasonings over the nuts after they are already in the basket.

Can I make these in the oven instead of the air fryer?

Yes. Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes stirring once halfway through. Watch them closely in the final minutes since nuts can go from perfectly golden to burnt very quickly. Pour them onto a fresh parchment lined baking sheet immediately after baking to stop the cooking process and let them cool completely before storing.

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl add the cashews, walnuts, and almonds. Pour the olive oil and melted coconut oil over the nuts. Add the rosemary, thyme, cumin, nutritional yeast, sea salt and pepper. Mix the nuts until they are all well coated with oil and spices.

Pour the nut mixture into the basket of your air fryer. And spread evenly.

Air fry at 350 degrees for 6 minutes. At 3 minutes shake the basket so the nuts are evenly roasted.

Immediately pour the nuts onto a parchment lined baking sheet to cool. Spread them out so they don't stick together.

After the nuts are completely cooled you can transfer them to an air tight container for storage up to a week.

Notes

You can use whatever nuts you have on hand, but if they are a lot smaller than what I'm using in this recipe you may need to cook them for a shorter amount of time.

If you don't have crushed rosemary you can grind your whole dried rosemary in a coffee grinder or small food processor.
