Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts, pistachios)
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Tandoori spice blend
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, tandoori spice blend, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, and salt. Mix well until a smooth marinade forms.

Step 2

Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss until all the nuts are evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the nuts marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 5

Spread the marinated nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even baking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.

Step 7

Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. This step allows them to crisp up as they cool.

Step 8

Transfer the cooled nuts to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and a touch of freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
