Servings: 2 cups
Calories: 127kcal
Equipment
- Small baking sheet
- Medium mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder (garam masala is a good variation)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon rounded cayenne pepper or more/less to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil* or avocado
- 2 cups raw nuts like pecans walnuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, etc.
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees and line a small cookie sheet with parchment or silicone.
- Combine all the spices in a medium bowl that will hold the nuts, too. Add oil and mix until smooth.
- Add the nuts to the bowl and stir until well they are thoroughly coated and then spread evenly on the prepared pan in a single layer.
- Bake nuts for 12-15 minutes, stirring at the halfway point. (I always cook for 15 minutes to get a good toasting of the nuts).
- Remove from oven and stir once more before letting sit on pan to cool for about an hour. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
*I only use 1.5 tablespoons oil now.
Storage:
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month.
- Freeze in an airtight freezer container or baggie for up to 6 months; thaw before serving (they thaw quickly at room temperature).
