2012 is almost at a close!

I hope when you look back on this year, the good and the bad, you are inspired to pursue 2013 with love and positivity.

I have one more recipe up my sleeve that will help bring your holiday partying to a tasty close. Warm roasted nuts are one of my go-to pre-appetizer snacks that I’ll lay out during a holiday party; or more specifically, a New Year’s Eve party.

Don’t be confused and think, “bar nuts?” No, these are nothing like bar nuts. These spicy roasted cashews are an exquisite, warm, seasonal treat that will have your guests raving.

If you’re not entertaining, bag them up just before your leave the house. They make great host/hostess gifts.

I hope you enjoy and are able to ring in the New Year over chilled champagne and warm toasts to a wonderful and blessed 2013.

    Seriously yum!

    Can you use olive oil instead? I am allergic to coconut oil.

    • fedandfit says

      fedandfit —  11/02/2013 At 16:02

      Hi Beth! I don’t recommend you use olive oil for high temperatures because it’s so fragile. You can substitute with grass-fed butter, ghee, or even meat renderings! Hope that helps.

    Does the coconut oil harden after the cashews and everything cools down? That wouldn’t sound very good to me if it does.

    • Cassandra says

      Cassandra —  02/19/2014 At 20:34

      It’s such a thin coating that you don’t really notice that hard texture you see with virgin coconut oil. It really just gives the nuts a slight sheen. They’re tasty when cooled too 🙂

    I love cashews but not crazy about rosemary. Have you tried other spices?

    • Cassandra says

      Cassandra —  02/19/2014 At 20:35

      I have! Thyme, oregano, or even hot pepper for a fun mix!

    Why can’t I save some of these recipes to my recipe box 🙁 there is not an option to save on all of them.

    Can you fix this?

    • Cassy says

      Cassy —  08/06/2014 At 19:37

      Hi Heather! You should see the “save” option now!

    Wow! Would love to make some for Easter… How long do they stay “fresh” for please? Is 1 week too far in advance to make them?

    • Cassy says

      Cassy —  08/06/2014 At 19:37

      1 week should work if you keep it refrigerated! I would re-warm before you serve.

    SO GOOD! I made these for our Christmas Eve get together and everybody loved them! They were really easy to make and the coconut oil gave the nuts a lightly sweet taste – everyone raved about them and asked me for the recipe.

    • Kelly says

      Kelly —  08/23/2015 At 23:04

      Hi Laura, glad you enjoyed them. That is fine as long as you link it back to me. Thanks!

    If I don’t want the heat of paprika, can you recommend another spice?

    • Cassy says

      Cassy —  03/01/2017 At 09:38

      Most paprikas are actually not spicy at all, but you can leave it out altogether if you’re concerned about the heat. Hope that helps!
