Ingredients
- 2 cups raw mixed nuts almonds, cashews, walnuts, whatever tickles your fancy!
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or substitute with Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick! ⚡
- ½ teaspoon salt to taste
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese optional, but highly recommended!
- 2 tablespoons cheese powder if you’re feeling cheesy!
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Let's kick things off by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature to get those nuts nice and toasty!
- Mix it All Together: In a large mixing bowl, throw in your mixed nuts, then drizzle with olive oil. This helps your spices stick while they roast. Now sprinkle all the yummy spices—garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt—on top of those nuts. If you’re adding cheese, do that too! Give it a good stir until everything is coated.
- Spread & Bake: Grab a baking tray and line it with parchment paper. Spread the nut mixture evenly across the tray so they roast beautifully. Now, it’s time to pop it into the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
- Give Them a Stir: Halfway through cooking (at the 10-minute mark), smile and take a peek at your nuts! Give them a quick stir to ensure they roast evenly and get that perfect golden color.
- Cool & Crunch: Once they’re cooked to perfection, pull them out and let them cool for a few minutes. This step is crucial if you want to avoid burning your tongue on those lovely roasted flavors! Once they’re cool enough, grab a handful and enjoy! You can also store them in an airtight container for later (if they last that long!).
