Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, cashews, pecans, and macadamia nuts.
Melt the coconut oil in a small microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop. Pour the melted coconut oil over the nuts and toss to coat evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, ground allspice, ground nutmeg, powdered erythritol, lime zest, and chili powder (if using).
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the nuts and stir well to ensure every nut is evenly coated.
Spread the nuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes over the hot nuts. The residual heat will lightly toast the coconut flakes.
Allow the nuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will become crisp and flavorful.
Transfer the cooled bar nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks or in the fridge for longer freshness.
Serve as a snack, appetizer, or alongside your favorite low-carb beverage. Enjoy!
