I love munching on nuts and there’s something about the sweet and spicy ones that I find hard to resist. My Sweet and Spicy Curried Nuts make for an ideal dinner party gift. I have to warn you though that these are addictive. Highly Addictive.

I’ve used a combination of Cashews, Walnuts and Hazelnuts, but you could use any nut of your choice. I’ve also gone one step ahead and used Extra Virgin Coconut Oil that gives it so much for more depth of flavor and pairs beautifully with the curry powder.

Description

These sweet and spicy curried nuts are a delightful combination of flavors, perfect as a crunchy snack or a thoughtful dinner party gift.

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 cups mixed nuts (Cashews, Walnut halves, and Hazelnuts)
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a pan, heat the Extra Virgin Coconut Oil over low heat. Add the ground cumin, ginger powder, curry powder, cayenne pepper, sugar, and salt. Stir for about 5-6 seconds until the spices are aromatic.
Add the mixed nuts to the pan and stir well to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden and fragrant.
Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving or packaging as a gift.

Notes

You can substitute the nuts with your preferred choice. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness. These nuts make a great holiday gift when packaged in decorative jars.
