Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil and honey. Stir until evenly blended.
Add the ground cinnamon, cumin, coriander, paprika, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt to the bowl. Mix well to form a spiced paste.
Pour the raw mixed nuts into the bowl and toss until the nuts are evenly coated with the spice paste.
Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the nuts toward the end to prevent burning.
Remove the nuts from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle the finely chopped rosemary over them while they are still warm.
Let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
