  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: About 5 cups

Ingredients

Nuts & Seeds

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • ¾ cup raw shelled pistachios
  • ⅔ cup raw pumpkin seeds

Spices & Flavorings

  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for roasting the nuts evenly.
  2. Mix Nuts and Seeds: In a large bowl, combine the raw almonds, pecans, cashews, pistachios, and pumpkin seeds thoroughly to ensure an even blend.
  3. Prepare the Spice Coating: In a small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, dried rosemary, curry powder, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined to create a sticky spice mix.
  4. Coat the Nuts: Pour the maple syrup spice mixture over the nuts and seeds, stirring well to coat every piece evenly with the spiced glaze.
  5. Spread for Roasting: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and spread the coated nuts out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
  6. Roast the Nuts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to prevent burning and promote even crispiness.
  7. Cool and Season: Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet; once cool, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired for added texture and flavor.
  8. Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately or store the spiced nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks for a delicious, on-the-go snack.

Notes

  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level; reduce for milder nuts or increase for more heat.
  • Using raw nuts allows the spices and maple syrup to fully penetrate and roast nicely. Avoid pre-roasted nuts.
  • Make sure to stir the nuts halfway through roasting to avoid burning and to get an even roast.
  • Store cooled spiced nuts in an airtight container to preserve crunchiness and flavor.
  • These nuts are perfect for parties, as a snack, or sprinkled over salads for added texture and flavor.
