Indian Spiced Nuts

I like having healthy snacks around me so I don't go searching for flamin' hot cheetos every once in a while.  I do have those temptations too.  This is such a great snack because it's really flavorful with the aromatic spices and coconut.  Plus, the nuts are very filling.  The different combinations of this recipe are endless. There are so many different flavor combinations of roasted nuts you can do.... you can do a sweet combination with egg whites, sugar and cinnamon or Japanese style with furikake.  Feel free to switch up the different kinds of nuts in the recipe also.

This is so easy!  Just combine all ingredients together....

Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and bake the nuts at a low temperature for 40 minutes.

It's a ready made snack!  I usually have something like this sitting on my desk at work.  I'm a constant muncher.
