Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw macadamia nuts
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Step 3
Add the raw macadamia nuts to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they're evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the coated macadamia nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the tray. The coating will crisp up as they cool.
Step 7
Transfer the cooled nuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a flavorful snack.
