Ingredients
  

2 cups mixed nuts (a blend of almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pecans)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons garlic, minced (approximately 4 cloves)

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a hint of smokiness)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 320°F (160°C) for optimal roasting.

    Prepare the Nut Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts with the olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if you choose to add it). Use a spatula or your hands to toss the mixture thoroughly, ensuring every nut is well-coated with the flavorful oil and seasonings.

      Air Fry the Nuts: Carefully transfer the seasoned nut mixture to the air fryer basket, spreading it out into a single layer. If your air fryer’s capacity is limited, consider air-frying the nuts in smaller batches for more even cooking.

        Cooking Time: Roast the nuts in the air fryer for approximately 8-10 minutes. Be sure to shake the basket halfway through the cooking process to encourage uniform roasting and prevent burning.

          Check for Doneness: As the nuts cook, keep a close watch on them. They should develop a beautiful golden brown color and emit a toasted aroma. Depending on the size and type of nuts you are using, be prepared to adjust the cooking time slightly to achieve the perfect crunch.

            Cool and Garnish: After roasting, carefully remove the nuts from the air fryer and transfer them back to the mixing bowl. Allow them to cool for a few minutes—this cooling period will enhance their crunchiness. Once they’ve cooled, sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant touch.

              Serve: Present your tantalizing crunchy garlic herb roasted nuts in a serving bowl. They make for a delightful snack, perfect for gatherings, parties, or as a tasty accompaniment to your favorite beverages!
