MASALA MIXED NUTS

You probably wonder, what do I eat for an afternoon snack? Well, I have the perfect solution for you. Today we're going to make masala mixed nuts. So I have two cups of mixed nuts today. I have a blend of almonds, cashews, pecans, peanuts, and macadamias. You can use any mixed nuts that you have, or even one kind if that's all that you have on hand. We're going to start by drizzling the nuts with a little bit of olive oil. And then I have a quarter teaspoon of salt, pepper, and red chili powder. A quarter teaspoon each. So I'm just going to sprinkle that on. And I also have a teaspoon of chaat masala. And you can get this at the Indian store, but if you can't find it, you can also substitute lemon pepper. So what I'm going to do is really just use my hands and get in here and get all the spices coated onto the. Onto the nuts. And the olive oil serves as a stickiness for all the spices. So just really get it on there, mix it around, and coat all the spices onto the nuts. Now I'm going to transfer the nuts to a baking pan and spread it all around. Get everything in there. And the oven's been heated at 375 degrees for us to put this in there. Just get it all flat. Okay. I'm going to put the nuts in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until they're a slightly darker color. Mmm. It smells delicious. I can smell all the roasted spices. I can't wait to try it. The nuts have had a chance to cool for a couple minutes. I'm going to try them now. Mmm. A handful of these will definitely satisfy my afternoon cravings. Thanks for cooking with me.
