Ingredients

Mixed Nuts

  • 4 cups mixed nuts

Spice Mix

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Oil

  • ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the nuts evenly.
  2. Mix Nuts: Place all the mixed nuts in a large bowl and toss them together to combine.
  3. Prepare Spice Coating: In a smaller bowl, whisk together chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, sea salt, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and olive oil until well blended.
  4. Coat Nuts: Pour the spice and oil mixture over the nuts and stir thoroughly to ensure each nut is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  5. Roast Nuts: Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to promote even cooking.
  6. Cool and Store: After roasting, allow the nuts to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • Customize the spice level by adjusting the cayenne pepper and chili powder quantities according to personal preference.
  • Use any combination of nuts you prefer, like almonds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts for variety.
  • Ensure to stir the nuts halfway through roasting to prevent burning and promote even crispiness.
  • These spiced nuts make a great gift when packaged in decorative jars or bags.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep nuts fresh and crunchy longer.
