Sweet and Spicy Herb Roasted Mixed Nuts

A little something for everybody, these nuts are perfect to serve at a holiday party or to take along as a hostess gift or party favor. A wonderfully aromatic mixture of herbs and the light heat of the red pepper flakes will be a crowd-pleaser for sure.

Helpful hint: When using dried herbs, lightly crush them with the back of a spoon or with a mortar and pestle. This allows the herbs to release oils and aromas that will further enhance the flavors in the recipe.
