Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts, pistachios)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Tandoori spice blend
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, tandoori spice blend, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, and salt. Mix well until a smooth marinade forms.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss until all the nuts are evenly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the nuts marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spread the marinated nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. This step allows them to crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the cooled nuts to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and a touch of freshness.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
