Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces walnuts (could use cashews, pecans, peanuts)
2 teaspoons peanut oil, * see note
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried herb (such as thyme, savory, tarragon, or sage)
8 ounces almonds, skin on
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
4 ounces pine nuts
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
saffron
8 ounces roasted pistachios, shelled
2 teaspoons Spanish olive oil
4 saffron threads
salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Put all flavor ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Add nuts and toss.
Transfer to a roasting pan into which the nuts will fit in one single layer.
Roast for 20 minutes or until nuts begin to color.
Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil.
NOTES : For a drier consistency substitute spray olive or corn oil.
A good thing about making your own flavored nuts is creating the flavors you like, with as much or as little salt as you choose. Store in air- tight container, preferably tin.
