Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly mixed.
- Pour the spice mixture over the nuts and toss well to ensure each nut is evenly coated.
- Spread the spiced nuts evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning.
- Once golden and aromatic, remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
- Serve in a bowl and enjoy!
- Store any leftover Spiced Nut Mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Helpful Tips
- Nut Variations: Feel free to use any type of nut you prefer or have on hand. Hazelnuts and macadamia nuts are great options too.
- Sweetness: Substitute maple syrup for honey if you prefer a vegan option.
- Heat Level: Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level. Omit it entirely if you’re serving kids or prefer a milder snack.
- Pairing: This spiced nut mix pairs wonderfully with a cold glass of lemonade or a warm mug of spiced tea.
