Vegan Roasted Sweet + Spicy Rosemary Pecans
Hello & Happy Wednesday!!
With fall around the corner I instantly started craving everything from butternut squash, to all things pumpkin and pecans. Yes, I’m that person, always excited about the new concepts. My favorite thing about the shifting of the seasons is the weather, but also the food.
Enjoying the seasonal staples is not only nostalgic, but it solidifies the passing of time, and keeps you present.
If there is one food that resonates with fall besides pumpkin, it’s pecans! They are fab with desserts, but also great with savory concepts. As someone who loves mixed nuts I see how it can make more sense to seek out a store bought option. However, mixed nut recipes are so effortless, affordable, and more importantly, you can control the sugar content.
What’s fab about these nuts, is everything! They are quick, easy, affordable, savory, sweet, have notes of spice, rich flavors of rosemary and garlic, can easily be made in bulk, perf for any season, perf for a snack or to throw on a salad, can be crushed and used to coat a protein, are great for entertaining, and are my new favorite nut recipe!!
