Ingredients

  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup raw pistachios
  • 1 cup raw Brazil nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick cook mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, curry powder, salt and cayenne. Add the nuts and toss with a spatula until evenly coated. Spread the nuts evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes and stir them about halfway through. Nuts are done when they are aromatic and slightly golden. Let them cool to room temperature, then use a metal spatula to loosen them from the parchment. Transfer to a serving dish or an airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to a month.
