Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 cups dry roasted or raw mixed nuts of choice
  • 1 ½ tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • Juice of 1 lime (3-4 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325℉ to prepare for roasting the nuts evenly without burning.
  2. Prepare the nuts: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixed nuts out in an even layer to ensure they roast uniformly.
  3. Make the spice mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado or olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, fine salt, fresh lime juice, and chopped rosemary until combined.
  4. Toss nuts with spices: Pour the spice mixture over the nuts on the baking sheet and toss thoroughly to coat each nut evenly with the flavorful marinade.
  5. Roast the nuts: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the nuts for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning and to ensure even roasting.
  6. Add finishing salt: Remove the nuts from the oven and immediately sprinkle flaky sea salt over them while still warm for an added texture and flavor boost.
  7. Cool the nuts: Allow the nuts to cool on the baking sheet for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking together as they set.
  8. Store properly: Once fully cooled, transfer the nuts to an airtight container to store for up to 3 months, keeping them fresh and crunchy.

Notes

  • You can use any variety of mixed nuts such as almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, or pistachios.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your spice preference.
  • Using avocado oil offers a neutral flavor with a high smoke point, but olive oil works well too for a fruity note.
  • Make sure to stir frequently while roasting to avoid burning and ensure even coating.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
