Tips:

  • Choose the right nuts: For this recipe, you can use any type of nut you like. Almonds, pecans, walnuts, and cashews are all good choices.
  • Use fresh spices: The fresher the spices, the more flavor they will impart to the nuts. If you can, buy whole spices and grind them yourself just before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the nuts, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them to roast evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Watch the nuts carefully: Nuts can burn quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them while they're roasting. Stir them occasionally to ensure that they are evenly roasted.
  • Let the nuts cool completely: Before storing the nuts, let them cool completely. This will help them to crisp up and prevent them from becoming chewy.
