This Spiced Roasted Nuts recipe is the perfect balance of crunch and warmth, making it an irresistible snack for any occasion. Featuring a blend of Galil Cashews, Galil Walnuts, and Galil Peanuts, these nuts are tossed in Galil Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned with LiOR Sweet Paprika, salt, and pepper for a simple yet bold flavor.

Roasting brings out their natural nuttiness while creating a lightly crisp texture that makes them even more satisfying.

With their rich, toasted aroma and lightly spiced coating, these roasted nuts are the perfect addition to any snack board or appetizer spread. They’re delicious on their own but can also be used to add crunch to salads, grain bowls, or even as a topping for roasted vegetables.

Their versatility makes them a go-to snack for entertaining, meal prep, or simply enjoying alongside a cup of tea or coffee. Homemade roasted nuts are a fantastic alternative to store-bought versions, allowing you to control the seasoning and freshness. 

Whether you’re looking for a nutritious snack, an appetizer to serve guests or something to add a bit of crunch to your dishes, this recipe delivers a versatile, flavorful option. They also make a great addition to a Passover spread, offering a naturally simple and wholesome snack that can be prepared in advance.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Place the mixed nuts in a medium bowl; drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss well.

  • 3

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, along with salt and pepper to taste, over the nuts and toss until evenly coated.

  • 4

    Spread the nuts in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  • 5

    Roast in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, stirring halfway through; watch closely near the end to prevent burning.

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely, as they will continue to crisp up.

Notes

How to Get the Best Results

To ensure even roasting, spread the nuts in a single layer on the baking sheet. This prevents them from steaming and helps achieve a uniform crispness. Stirring them halfway through baking allows for even browning and ensures that all sides get perfectly toasted.

Using Galil Avocado Oil not only enhances the flavor but also helps the seasoning adhere to the nuts, creating a well-balanced coating. The addition of LiOR Sweet Paprika provides a hint of warmth and color without overpowering the natural richness of the nuts.

Adjusting the salt and pepper allows you to customize the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.

Letting the nuts cool completely before serving is key, as they will continue to crisp up as they rest. Storing them in an airtight container ensures they stay fresh and crunchy for days.

Tips and Tricks

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of LiOR Hot Paprika for a subtle kick.
  • Toss with a drizzle of Galil Orange Blossom Honey after roasting for a sweet-savory contrast.
  • Use these spiced nuts as a topping for salads, yogurt, or grain bowls for added crunch and flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain their freshness.
