\"Masala<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m the kind of person who loves to have ready snacks at home. Just in case one of the kids starts feeling hungry out of the blue (as they are wont to do). Or a friend drops by for a pleasant surprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the one thing you\u2019ll always find in my pantry is a jar of roasted nuts. With the holidays approaching, there is no better time to whip up a whole new batch of party nuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know there are plenty of holiday mixed nuts available, but as ever, I prefer homemade. The nut mix recipe I use is the best-roasted nuts recipe (at least in my biased opinion). Definitely way better than what you get on the market, both quality and quantity-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nuts:<\/strong> I love cashews and almonds, but you are more than welcome to try these roasted mixed nuts recipe with any<\/strong> nuts you prefer \u2013 pecans, walnuts, or peanuts. Keep in mind that the bake time may change slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spices:<\/strong> What I love about making savory spiced nuts at home is that I can cater to my palate, and the same goes for you. Increase or decrease<\/strong> the amount of garam masala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every household has its own favorite garam masala, and it\u2019s okay to use it. Homemade or store-bought, stick to what\u2019s convenient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a little more heat in your nut mix recipe? Try red chili<\/strong> powder. Want to give the masala cashews a golden hue? Whisk in \u00bd teaspoon of turmeric<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> Sugar is not for sweetness, but rather to balance and accent the flavor of seasoning. You can use more of it or substitute it for honey.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil<\/strong>: Any vegetable oil will do here. Coconut<\/strong> oil is another great option, as is peanut<\/strong> oil. Even melted butter<\/strong> would work rather well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ins:<\/strong> To lend texture to the masala cashew recipe, use pumpkin seeds or melon seeds.<\/strong> Add them halfway through the baking.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Masala Roasted Nuts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From Diwali to Thanksgiving to Christmas, this nut mix will last you a long time. The recipe makes a huge batch without much effort. So, you can bake your holiday nuts jars way <\/em>beforehand (and then hope they don\u2019t get finished fist-to-mouth)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> While the oven preheats, combine garam masala<\/a>, olive oil, sea salt, and a little bit of sugar to help the flavors come alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Toss your mixed nuts in the seasoning till they are nicely coated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Spread the spiced nuts on a parchment paper-lined tray in an even, single layer without crowding them together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Taste the savory spiced nuts and adjust seasoning, if needed, and then bake for 20 minutes at 160 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Every 5 to 6 minutes, go in and stir the nuts, so they cook evenly and don\u2019t burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> When the kitchen is fragrant with roasted almonds and the cashews are a gorgeous golden brown, take them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step:<\/strong> Cool and store.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
