Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and honey (if using). Whisk until a smooth paste forms.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss until all the nuts are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated nuts in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Be careful not to let the nuts burn.
Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet. The seasoning will become crisp as the nuts cool.
Transfer the spicy nuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy them as a snack or party appetizer!
