A delightful snack combining the zest of citrus with the warmth of spices, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, melt the butter until liquid.
Use a microwave or stovetop to gently melt the butter without burning it.
Add chili powder, garlic powder, and salt to the melted butter, mixing well.
Stir thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Zest the lime and add the zest to the butter mixture. Then, juice the lime and add the juice to the mix.
Zesting the lime adds a burst of citrus flavor to the mix.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the butter mixture.
Ensure all nuts are well-coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, shaking the tray gently every 5 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Shaking the tray helps to toast the nuts evenly.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Cooling allows the flavors to set and the nuts to crisp up.
Serve the spiced nuts in a bowl and enjoy as a snack or appetizer.
These nuts are perfect for sharing at gatherings or enjoying solo.
