    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oven to 325°. Add the nuts, oil, and all of the seasonings to a mixing bowl and stir thoroughly, ensuring the nuts are evenly coated in spices.
  2. Pour the nuts onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and spread them out in an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes then stir them around and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
  3. The nuts will not be crunchy right when they come out of the oven. Let them come to room temperature, then they'll be nice & crunchy. Enjoy!

Notes

  • WARNING: These nuts are extremely spicy!  
  • Make sure the nuts have completely cooled before storing.  Warm nuts will release moisture, making them go bad.
  • Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
