Spicy mixed nuts

Spicy mixed nuts are a delightful and flavorful snack perfect for any occasion. With a mix of cashews and almonds seasoned with cumin, coriander, and chili powder, this recipe is both easy to prepare and incredibly tasty. Whether you're hosting a gathering or simply looking for a quick homemade snack, these spicy mixed nuts are sure to satisfy your cravings.

Ingredients:

1 cup cashew
150g
1 cup almonds
120g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
1 tsp ground cumin
3g
1 tsp dried coriander
5g
1 tsp chili powder
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the nuts roast evenly and acquire a nice, toasty flavor.
2. Prepare the Nuts:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cashews and 1 cup of almonds. Toss to mix them well.
3. Add the Oil and Spices:
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the mixed nuts. This helps the spices stick to the nuts and adds a bit of richness.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of dried coriander, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder over the nuts. Stir well to ensure that the nuts are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
4. Spread and Bake:
- Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the nuts for 10–15 minutes. Stir them halfway through the baking time to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
5. Cool and Store:
- Once the nuts are golden and fragrant, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Once cooled, transfer the spicy mixed nuts to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
6. Serve:
- Enjoy your delicious spicy mixed nuts as a snack on their own, or add them to salads, yogurt, or trail mix for an extra flavor boost!

Tips:

- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the spice mix.

- Toast the nuts over medium heat to avoid burning them and to ensure they cook evenly.

- You can use a variety of nuts such as pecans or walnuts to diversify the mix.

- Store the nuts in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.

- Adjust the level of chili powder to suit your heat preference.

With minimal effort and a handful of spices, you can transform a simple mix of cashews and almonds into a savory and spicy snack. Perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own, these spicy mixed nuts are a quick and satisfying treat. Don’t forget to store them properly to maintain their crunchiness and flavor!
