These chili rosemary roasted nuts are the perfect healthy snack, combining bold flavors with nutritious ingredients. This easy roasted nuts recipe is ideal for spice lovers seeking a homemade chili nuts snack that's both satisfying and wholesome.
Ingredients
- 4 cups dry roasted or raw mixed nuts of choice
- 1 ½ tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- Juice of 1 lime (3-4 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325℉. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for quick cleanup.
- Spread the nuts in an even layer across the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- In a small bowl, whisk together avocado oil, chili powder, cumin, fine salt, lime juice, and rosemary until well blended.
- Drizzle the spice mixture over the nuts and toss thoroughly so every nut is coated.
- Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning. The nuts should turn golden and release a roasted aroma.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt while still warm for maximum flavor.
- Let the nuts cool completely on the sheet pan for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooling to ensure they don't stick together.
- Store the cooled nuts in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
