Ingredients

• 3 cups Mixed nuts (unsalted, raw)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil and honey. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cayenne pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl and stir to form a cohesive spice mixture.

Step 4

Pour the mixed nuts into the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet to allow the coating to set.

Step 8

If desired, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
