The nuts are roasted at a relatively low temperature to avoid burning and to give them time to absorb the fragrant spices. Ingredients:
2 cups lightly salted mixed nuts |
1 tbs. unsalted butter, melted |
1 tbs. finely chopped peeled fresh ginger |
1 tsp. garam masala (see related recipe at left) |
1/2 tsp. ground cumin |
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 300°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, toss together the nuts, butter, ginger, garam masala, cumin and cayenne until the nuts are evenly coated with the spice mixture. Spread the nuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Roast the nuts, stirring 1 or 2 times, until golden and fragrant, 20 to 22 minutes. Immediately transfer the nuts to a bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.
4. You can also roast the nuts up to 24 hours in advance and store them, tightly covered, at room temperature. To serve them warm, spread them on a baking sheet and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes.
