Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts, pecans)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Brown 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 mixed nuts with olive oil. Toss well to ensure the nuts are evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and brown sugar.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the nuts and toss again until all the nuts are evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time to ensure even roasting.
Once the nuts are golden and fragrant, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The nuts will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the Chili Nuts Santa Fe to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to a week.
Enjoy this spicy and savory treat as a snack or garnish for salads and charcuterie boards!
