As written: roasted with a honey coat.
Candy them on the stove: toss in a skillet with the honey until it bubbles and clings, then spread to cool (the sugar is very hot).
Grind your own spice blend, the medieval poudre douce (cinnamon, ginger, a little clove and sugar), and dust them with it.
Serve in parchment cones with dried figs, apricots and a wedge of hard cheese, as a feast's last course.

Tavern Night

This dish's twist table (d6)

1–2	The classic stands. No twist. Cook it as written.
3	Herb swap. Thyme instead of rosemary
4	Acid strike. Orange zest over the warm nuts
5	Plating challenge. Serve in small parchment cones, one per player
6	Host's boon. The Host picks any twist above, or the table invents one. The safety rule still applies.

Roll before you start cooking. No twist ever changes a time, a temperature or how done something must be.
