Method
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, and pecans in an even layer.
- Roast the nuts for 10 minutes to bring out their natural oils and flavor. Let them cool slightly.
- Coarsely chop the nuts if desired for a rustic texture—or leave them whole for a bolder crunch.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the nuts with ground cinnamon and salt until evenly coated.
- Drizzle in the olive oil and stir until each nut is beautifully glazed.
- Return to the baking sheet and roast for another 5–10 minutes until golden and aromatic. Let cool before serving.
Notes
- Don't skip the roasting step—it enhances aroma and crunch.
- Experiment with flavors: Try adding cumin, smoked paprika, or a dash of cayenne for a twist.
- Add sweetness with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if you like sweet-spicy snacks.
- Cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess.
- Mix and match nuts: Add macadamias or walnuts for an even richer flavor combo!
