Rosemary Maple Roasted Walnuts: simple to make, easy to give
Jump to Recipe

For the Person Who Has Everything

Are you looking for an easy gift to give to the person who has everything? Food is always a good idea. I love to make these rosemary maple roasted walnuts, using fresh rosemary from my garden and walnuts that I’ve soaked and dehydrated. It’s nice to change it up from all the sugar and sweets at Christmas, you know? These savory sweet walnuts are sure to hit the spot.

They also make a great host gift. And, bonus, if you’re trying to avoid grains or sugars or whatever else is on that appetizer table, bringing these Rosemary Maple Roasted Walnuts are a healthy way to keep you on track.

Keep on to see the recipe below, and leave me a comment letting me know what your favorite food gift to give or get is!

Rosemary Roasted Maple Walnuts have a subtle sweetness and some spice from the pepper

Are You the Host? Make These.

If you are the one doing the hosting this year, then be sure to add these nuts to the app table. No one will complain about freshly roasted, wholesome walnuts that are spiced with pepper and rosemary. They pair well with wine, cheese, and dried fruit. They do a great job at holding people over until the holiday meal is served.

So how do you make them? Start by soaking the walnuts in salt water for 6-8 hours and then dehydrating them for 8-10 hours. If you’d rather just use raw walnuts, that’s fine too. Either way, the next step is to measure out 8 cups of walnuts. Spread them on two baking sheets. Stir together extra virgin olive oil, chopped rosemary, coarse sea salt, and freshly ground pepper. Mix it in with the walnuts, them bake until lightly brown and crisp. After letting them cool, you can divide them into four bags to gift, or store them in an airtight container.

This is a great food gift or, if you are the host, make it as part of your hors d’oeuvres

Give them a try! Let me know if you make these and what you think.

See you again soon,

Rebekah
