I am a huge fan of mixed nuts — they're on the table at every family gathering, and for years I stuck with the traditional store-bought kind until I started roasting my own. Now there's no going back.
I make a batch of these almost every week to keep on hand for a healthy snack, and most days they're part of my breakfast lineup alongside scrambled eggs. Walnuts and almonds are considered superfoods, so I make sure they're always in the mix.
Honestly, this has become my go-to when a craving for something unhealthy hits — a small bowl of these usually does the trick.
Ingredients
- 7 oz. package raw organic cashews
- 6 oz. package raw organic almonds
- 8 oz. package raw organic pecans
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 1/2-1 tsp. pink Himalayan salt (to taste)
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 350°F.
- 2In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the nuts and the oil, and toss until the nuts are evenly coated.
- 3Spread into a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes, until the nuts are lightly roasted and fragrant.
- 4Remove from the oven, sprinkle with salt, and stir with a spatula until evenly coated.
- 5Line a mixing bowl with paper towels, dump in the nuts, and let cool completely for at least 2 hours.
- 6When cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips
- Avocado oil has a much higher smoke point than olive oil and a neutral flavor, which is why I prefer it for roasting.
