Chana Masala Spiced Roasted Nuts. vegan gluten-free snack!

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large skillet, add a teaspoon of oil and heat over low-medium.

2. 2

   When hot, add a cup of nuts(I used cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, pistachios), salt, black pepper and chana masala spice blend to taste, and mix to coat well.

3. 3

   Roast on stove stirring every few seconds for 8-10 minutes until cashews start to look golden.(Reduce heat to low after 6 or so minutes to reduce chances of burning)

4. 4

   Take off heat. The nuts will continue to roast for the next 2-3 minutes once off heat too. The Omega fats in the nuts can burn and damage easily, so roast them to just a light golden.

5. 5

   Cool completely, adjust salt and spice. Snack!

6. 6

   You can also bake these for about 12-15 minutes at preheated 330 degrees F. Stir once after 10 minutes and check on them. Oven temperatures vary, so keep the temperature on the lower side.

7. 7

   You can roast the nuts on stove or bake with no oil too, the spices and herbs might not stick as well.
