Directions

1. Line a tray and preheat the oven at 180°C or 360°F.
2. Add the nuts to a bowl. You don’t have to use the ones I listed here – feel free to use your own favourite nut combo.
3. Add spices in one at a time, making sure to coat them as evenly as you can. Don’t worry—it’s a messy task!
If you don’t have garlic salt, you can use 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp salt instead. If you’re not into anything spicy, I recommend leaving the chili out and halving the cumin.
4. Bake for 10 minutes. For extra crisp, leave them in the oven for a minute after it’s off.
Depending on how intense your oven is, it might need a couple more minutes. You’ll know when it’s done – the nuts will crisp up and be super crunchy.
5. Let it cool completely before serving.
You can store this for over a week, but it hasn’t lasted longer than that at my house!
Feel free to try other ingredients—I think this would also taste great with roasted nori, pretzels, or corn nuts.
