Janice’s Spiced Party Nuts

Pre-heat the oven to 325F.

Mix cumin, chili powder, garlic salt, cayenne, ginger and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.

Place the oil in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the spice mixture and stir well.  Simmer to mellow the flavors, 3 or 4 minutes.

Place the nuts in a mixing bowl, add the spice mixture and toss well. Spread the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.  Bake for 15 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and using a rubber spatula, toss the nuts with any spices and oil that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with the coarse salt, and a bit more garlic salt if desired.  Let rest for 2 hours in a cool place.  Store in airtight jars.
