Ingredients
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw pecans
1/2 cup raw walnuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional for sweet version)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine all nuts. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Add salt, smoked paprika, and cayenne (if using). Toss again to distribute spices. For sweet version, add maple syrup and toss.
Spread nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until nuts are fragrant and lightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Nuts will crisp as they cool.
Break apart any clusters and store in an airtight container.
Tips
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze for up to 3 months.
Experiment with different spice blends like curry powder, rosemary, or cinnamon sugar.
