Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, peanuts, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, ground cumin, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a uniform spice blend.
Step 3
Add the raw mixed nuts to the bowl and toss them thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned nuts evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 5
Roast the nuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Step 6
Keep an eye on the nuts during the last few minutes of roasting to prevent them from burning. They should be golden and fragrant when done.
Step 7
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The seasoning will adhere better as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the chili mixed nuts to an airtight container for storage. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
Step 9
Serve as a snack on their own or as part of a party platter to delight your guests.
