Ingredients
Scale
Nuts
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnut halves
- 1 cup raw cashews
Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the nuts.
- Prepare Nuts: Place the almonds, walnut halves, and cashews evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle the grapeseed oil over the nuts and sprinkle the salt to evenly coat them.
- Roast Nuts: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 3 minutes. Remove and shake the pan gently to turn the nuts, then roast for an additional 2 minutes to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Cool: Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet to develop the full roasted flavor and crunchy texture.
- Store: Transfer the cooled nuts to an airtight container. Store at room temperature and consume within 10 days for optimal freshness or freeze for longer storage of up to 3 months.
Notes
- Shaking the pan during roasting ensures even browning and prevents burning.
- Use grapeseed oil for its high smoke point and neutral flavor; other neutral oils can be substituted if needed.
- These nuts can be customized by adding spices such as cinnamon, cayenne, or smoked paprika before roasting for different flavors.
- Ensure nuts are fully cooled before storing to maintain crunchiness.
- Store in airtight container to preserve freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
