If you’re craving a bit of crunch, nuts are an excellent go-to. They can be added to salads, sprinkled on top of soups, or swirled through desserts, but truth be told, we prefer them roasted just like this. 

Step #1

If you prefer your nuts to be flavored, you can mix up a seasoning. A sweet and spicy version involves combining sugar, salt, chili powder, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper, and tossing the nuts through. If you prefer something plainer, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt.

Step #2

Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Lay out the nuts evenly. You want your oven to be below 300°F as roasting nuts at high temperatures can damage the natural nut oils.

Step #3

Roast the nuts for around 45 minutes. Stir them once during the process so that each side becomes golden and toasty. Once done, allow the nuts to cool on the baking tray, stirring occasionally.
