directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Put all flavor ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Add nuts and toss.
Transfer to a roasting pan into which the nuts will fit in one single layer.
Roast for 20 minutes or until nuts begin to color.
Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil.

A good thing about making your own flavored nuts is creating the flavors you like, with as much or as little salt as you choose. Store in air- tight container, preferably tin.
