Fragrant and slightly spicy, these nuts are perfect to serve guests as an appetizer or snack at your holiday party. And they’re a snap to make.
Here’s what I said about these back in 2011:
Even my sister liked these! She even took a Ziploc baggy full to take on the plane with her. And she rarely eats anything I make.
The second time I made them I changed the recipe slightly. Originally I tossed these in butter. I updated the recipe to make it healthier by tossing with olive oil. I also coated the nuts in the seasoning prior to baking. I did this by shaking it all together in a ziploc baggy with a wee bit of olive oil. Then I baked them at 350 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes and while still warm, tossed them back in the bag and shook again. Then I seasoned them with additional salt.
