A savory and addictive snack featuring roasted nuts tossed with a blend of aromatic spices, chili, and cumin.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the nuts with olive oil, cumin powder, chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala (if using), salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Ensure the nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the nuts are fragrant and lightly toasted, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. The nuts will crisp up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

For a sweeter flavor, add a touch of maple syrup or honey before roasting.
Watch the nuts carefully during roasting to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
Adjust the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
You can substitute other nuts based on your preference. Macadamia nuts also work well.
Add a pinch of hing (asafoetida) to the spice blend for a more pungent Indian flavor.
