25 nut snack recipes

1115719_nuts_4Tired of reading articles about the holidays and holiday parties and holiday shopping? Here’s a list of something that could be a part of your holiday celebration, but also works for the whole rest of the year (no special occasion required): snack recipes using nuts as a main ingredient.

These are wonderful because nuts have more to offer in the way of nutrition than other popular snack bases like corn, potatoes and wheat. I’m not claiming they’re health food, but at least what calories you’re consuming are not totally empty.

  1. Spicy, Sweet & Salty Rosemary Nuts from Pink of Perfection. Lots of flavor in this recipe.
  2. Crisp sugared walnuts – great eaten alone, or on salads.
  3. Spiced Nut Snack – garlic, peppercorn, red pepper and more
  4. 5-Spice Pecans Recipe – Asian flavored recipe using soy sauce, garlic and ginger
  5. Candied Pecans I – sugar and cinnamon
  6. Candied Chile Pecans – molasses and chile
  7. Dr. Pepper Glazed Pecans – just what it sounds like!
  8. Beer Snack Nuts – the traditional bar treat recipe
  9. Peppered Pecans – black, white and cayenne pepper with thyme, Worcestershire sauce and more
  10. Cranberry Nut Snack Mix – pine nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and cranberries
  11. Fried Almonds – a Mediterranean bar snack
  12. Honey Nut Snack – oats, pecans, cinnamon, brown sugar and, of course, honey
  13. Fruit, Cheese, Nut Snack – grapes, goat cheese and pistachio nuts
  14. Curried Pecans – with just a touch of orange
  15. Apricot Oat Nut Snack – sweet and tart
  16. Nut & Seaweed Snack – Japanese themed, with nori and wasabi
  17. Spiced Glazed Nuts and Pretzel Mix – from David Lebovitz, spicy and rich with a touch of sweet
  18. Spicy Sweet Pumpkin Seeds – ginger and cayenne
  19. Dawn’s Candied Walnuts – sugar, cinnamon, vanilla
  20. Barbecue Pecans – hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce
  21. Curried Hazelnuts – curry powder and butter
  22. Bourbon Nuts Recipe – whiskey, soy sauce, hot pepper sauce
  23. Dilly Almonds – flavored with dill weed
  24. Minted Pecans – mint, marshmallow and sugar, definitely not a calorie saver
  25. Roasted Pepper Pecans – pecans coated with egg white and spiced

Any of these recipes can and should be varied, according to your taste. The type of nut used isn’t the only one that’ll taste good, and the ingredients need not be exact. Be creative and have fun!
