Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 2 teaspoon chaat masala
  • A good squeeze of lemon juice or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Line a large and rimmed cookie sheet or baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Combine the oil, sugar, salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, chaat masala, and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add the nuts and toss well until they are entirely coated with the spice mixture.
  • Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the nuts for 15 minutes, then stir the nuts and shuffle around.
  • Then continue baking for 15 minutes more or until the nuts are deeply golden.
  • It is crucial to keep an eye on the oven after 20 minutes to ensure that nuts are perfectly roasted and not burned.
  • Remove the nuts from the oven. Let them cool completely in the pan before serving and storing.

Serving Suggestions

  • Store the spicy roasted mixed nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month.
  • It also freezes well, stored in a freezer-safe container or bag for six months.

Notes

  1. Make sure to use raw and unsalted nuts for the recipe.
  2. While baking, it is essential to stir the nuts in between for even toasting.
  3. Sugar enhances the flavor and provides candied texture to the nuts. But you can add less amount of sugar if you want.
  4. If using salt other than fine-grain sea salt, adjust the quantity as needed.
  5. Make sure to line the baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper; otherwise, the spice mixture will stick to the pan.
