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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss until all the nuts are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 4

Spread the coated nuts in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Be careful not to let the nuts burn.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet. The seasoning will become crisp as the nuts cool.

Step 7

Transfer the spicy nuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy them as a snack or party appetizer!
