Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (unsalted, raw)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil and honey. Whisk until well blended.
Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cayenne pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl and stir to form a cohesive spice mixture.
Pour the mixed nuts into the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated nuts 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 let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet to allow the coating to set.
If desired, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
