Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Mixed nuts (unsalted)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
- 1 tsp Brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spice paste.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking tray.
Roast the nuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring them halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the chili nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept for up to 1 week at room temperature.
Serve as a snack or enjoy with your favorite drinks!
