INGREDIENTS

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the mixed nuts and olive oil. Toss the nuts until they are evenly coated with the oil.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the herb and spice mixture over the coated nuts. Toss the nuts again to ensure they are coated with the herbs and spices.
Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the nuts in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Be sure to stir the nuts halfway through the roasting time for even cooking.
Once roasted, remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
