Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 cup pecans
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for a sweet-spicy flavor)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey (if using), smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until well blended.
Pour the spice mixture over the nuts and seeds, and toss to evenly coat everything.
Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on the mixture to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts and seeds cool completely. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the spicy mixed nuts and seeds to an airtight container or jar for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
