Roasted Nuts are a healthy, wholesome, gluten-free snack. I am sharing a roasted nuts recipe in 4 flavors – masala cashews, honey spiced almonds, herb walnuts, and mint foxnuts. Be sure to watch the video!
PinWhen it comes to winter food to keep us warm, our first thought instantly goes to soups and stews. But nuts and dried fruits also are a great source of energy and nutrition.
They are loaded with protein and good fats – great for skin and heart.
Medical research says nuts help lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol; they also regulate blood sugar and help reduce blood pressure.
Nuts taste great as they are. So why roast them?
Roasting brings out the oil that most nuts produce, enriches the flavor, and makes them extra crunchy and delicious.

What You Need
Tools: A stir-fry pan, a couple of mixing bowls, a big tray or sheet, and a good spatula.
Nuts: For this roasted nuts recipe, you need whole nuts (almonds with skin) without the outer hard shell. Try to use good quality nuts for roasting rather than stale/old ones.
Seasoning: Add the salt and seasoning sparingly as you don’t want to overpower the natural flavor of the nuts.
So let’s get to each flavor of the roasted nuts.
PinMasala Kaju (Cashew): This is an Indian-style spicy roasted cashew recipe. The white cashews are roasted in ghee and later seasoned with red chili powder, salt, pepper, and Chaat Masala.
In India, masala kaju is the most popular roasted nut flavor.
As the name suggests, it is spicy with the sweetness and richness of ghee.
PinHoney Spiced Almonds: They are my favorite flavor of roasted nuts.
The honey, cinnamon, and chili-flavored savory almonds are coated with a layer of white sugar. Making them crunchy and super addictive.
They are a sweet, spicy, caramelized goodness that disappears fast. So I suggest making a large batch of these honey-spiced almonds.
PinHerb Walnuts: Toasted in butter with oregano, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and brown sugar, these herb walnuts are the tastiest.
The addition of oregano makes them so flavorsome. You can use thyme, rosemary, sage, or other herbs to flavor the roasted walnuts.
PinRoasted Mint Makhana: The foxnuts are the new superfood. Apart from making curry and phirni, you can roast them in ghee and flavor them with salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, and mint powder.
They are low in calories, not so expensive, and easy to roast.
You can eat roasted makhana while fasting as well.

Serving & Storing Suggestions
Allow roasted nuts to cool down completely before storing them. Transfer them to separate airtight containers and store them at room temperature.
They remain fresh, crunchy, and tasty for weeks except for foxnuts (best consume them within a day or two).
Serve homemade roasted nuts with a cup of tea as a snack, or carry them around with you to satisfy those in-between meals munching cravings.
