Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw macadamia nuts
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Add the raw macadamia nuts to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they're evenly coated.
Spread the coated macadamia nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the tray. The coating will crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the cooled nuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a flavorful snack.
