Here’s a holiday recipe that’s got both a sweet and savory kick. Perfect for the holiday appetizer table, these spiced nuts should be laid out in large bowls, with plenty of backup in the oven—they will go fast! A sugared rosemary and cumin spice blend, tossed with just enough robust olive oil, creates a holiday snack you’ll be making as a yearly tradition!
