Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (for a touch of sweetness)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or rosemary)
Instructions
- Start by gathering your raw nuts and spice mix. In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the prepared nut mix and roast them in the pan, stirring frequently for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Once the nuts are perfectly roasted, remove them from the heat. Drizzle them with maple syrup and mix well to coat. Return the nuts to the heat for an additional minute to caramelize slightly.
- Transfer the spiced nuts to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Store your spiced nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
- These nuts can be customized with your favorite types of nuts.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free.
- The spice level can be adjusted by modifying the cayenne pepper amount.
