- •Feel free to experiment with spices; sometimes I add a pinch of cayenne for a kick.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll throw in some pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds if I have them on hand for extra crunch!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use roasted nuts instead?
You can, but they might burn faster since they’re already roasted. If you do, reduce the baking time to about 5-10 minutes.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is key to getting that perfect crunch.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the raw almonds and cashews. They’re a fantastic pair, don’t you think?
- 3
Drizzle the olive oil and maple syrup over the nuts, and give them a good toss to coat evenly.
- 4
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and nutritional yeast. Mix until the nuts are well coated with the spices.
- 5
Spread the nut mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re not overcrowded!
- 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they’re golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them because nuts can burn quickly.
- 7
Once done, let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They’ll get crunchier as they cool.
- 8
Store in an airtight container and enjoy them whenever you need a little crunch!
