Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon melted ghee, (or butter)

Instructions

    1 tablespoon melted ghee, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

    1 cup walnut halves, 1 cup cashews, 1 cup whole almonds

Notes

This recipe is for 16 servings. Each serving is a ¼ cup of roasted nuts.
I recommend dividing the recipe into single-serving containers or plastic bags for easy portion control. These nuts are so delicious, it's easy to over-indulge.
These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
