Author’s notes: My favorite combination is half pecans, half cashews. You might try almonds or walnuts, too. Just remember to use raw nuts, rather than roasted, to prevent over-toasting.
Ingredients
1 cup raw pecans
1 cup raw cashews
1 tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp curry powder
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp salt (optional)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F. Line a roasting pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and toss very well to combine. Pour the coated nuts onto the parchment paper, and spread evenly in a single layer. Bake until the nuts are fragrant and toasty, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
