# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It turns plain pantry staples into something you actually crave, with zero guilt.
  • The anti-inflammatory spices make you feel like youre doing something good while snacking.
  • You can toss it on salads, yogurt, or just grab handfuls straight from the jar.
02 -
  • Do not skip the halfway stir, the edges brown faster than the center and you need to move things around for even toasting.
  • Let them cool completely before storing or theyll steam in the container and lose their crunch.
  • If your oven runs hot, check at 12 minutes because nuts go from perfect to burnt in seconds.
03 -
  • Toast the nuts and seeds before adding the spice mixture if you want an even deeper roasted flavor.
  • Use a silicone spatula to scrape every bit of the spiced oil from the bowl, thats where the best flavor hides.
  • Make a double batch because they disappear faster than you think, and youll thank yourself later.
