Mixed nuts with distinct notes of basil and garlic. Quick, easy, and delicious. Originally from Southern Living. Ingredients:
1 (1/2 ounce) envelope knorr pesto sauce mix |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
5 cups dry-roasted mixed unsalted nuts (or pecan halves and slivered almonds) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the pesto powder and oil in a large mixing bowl until well-combined. Add the nuts, and stir until they are well-coated.
2. Pour nuts onto an 11-by-17-inch baking pan. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. When nuts are done, they will just be beginning to brown. They will continue to brown slightly when removed from the oven. Do not over-bake. Remove nuts from the oven and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Store in airtight containers, preferably jars or tins, at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
3. NOTE: The Knorr Pesto Mix is a dry powder that's intended for use as a pasta sauce.
4. TIP: These would probably freeze well, too.
