Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 2 tbsp spice mix (a blend of cinnamon, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and smoked paprika)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Optional: a pinch of black pepper or crushed chili flakes for extra heat
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the spice blend in a small bowl. Combine cinnamon, cayenne, turmeric, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the nuts with honey (or maple syrup) and olive oil until evenly coated.
- Add the spice mix to the nuts and stir well to ensure every nut is generously seasoned.
- Spread the coated nuts evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the nuts are toasted and fragrant.
- Allow to cool before enjoying or storing your gourmet nuts.
Notes
- Store cooled spiced nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- For longer shelf life, refrigerate for up to one month.
- Avoid humid environments to maintain crunchiness.
- Customize your spice blend for personalized flavor.
