    Why this recipe works:

    The problem with these Roasted Rosemary Hazelnuts is that once you start eating them, you literally won't be able to stop!

    Well, maybe that's just me. But I did need to make these tasty little tree nuts twice in a matter of only a few days because I couldn't get enough!

    And I'll bet you're going to feel the exact same way!

    How this recipe came to be:

    Not all that long ago I asked a question on my Facebook Page (Kudos Kitchen Food, Art, and Fun) whether people are only fans of hazelnuts if they are ground up and mixed with cocoa (you know the spread I'm talking about, right?).

    Or, if they like hazelnuts on their own merit, minus the chocolate.

    The answer surprised me.

    Almost everyone said they like the flavor of hazelnuts all by themselves, and that the addition of chocolate was purely a bonus for an already popular nut.

    Since I'm not a big proponent of the chocolate hazelnut spread, I was pleased to hear this. To my delight, I knew that the time was right to unveil my recipe for roasted rosemary hazelnuts.

    Health benefits of hazelnuts:

    Besides their exceptional taste, hazelnuts are extremely high in vitamin E which is important for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails.

    Hazelnuts are also a rich source of potassium, calcium, and magnesium which helps to regulate blood pressure.

    And they're also packed full of vitamin B which is important for proper cell and energy metabolism. Can your popcorn do all that?!! LOL!

    How to make skillet-roasted rosemary hazelnuts:

    With everything hazelnuts have going for them, making skillet roasted rosemary hazelnuts couldn't be easier (or faster) to make. 

    Let's heat up the skillet and get cooking. I'm hungry!

    • Heat coconut oil in a large skillet.
    • Add 3 - 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary and cook for 3 - 4 minutes on medium to infuse the oil with the rosemary.
    • Remove the rosemary from the skillet.

    • Add the hazelnuts to the skillet and saute over medium heat, stirring frequently until the nuts are browned.
    • Add salt and pepper.
    • Stir well.

    • Add chopped rosemary to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 -3 minutes.
    • Remove the nuts to paper towels to cool, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
    • Serve at room temperature.
    • Store the nuts in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

    How to serve roasted rosemary hazelnuts:

    Roasted Rosemary Hazelnuts are best served with a cold beer or a glass of wine.

    They're also great to use as a salad topper or serve with a charcuterie or cheese platter.
