Title: Spiced Nuts
1/2 t ground cumin
1/2 t chili powder
1/2 t curry powder
1/2 t garlic salt
1/4 t cayenne
1/4 t ground ginger
1/4 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t white pepper
2 T olive oil
2 C mixed nuts
Preheat oven to 325° F. In a small bowl, combine spices and set aside. Either in a non-stick skillet over low heat or in a Pyrex 2-cup measure in the microwave, heat the oil and spices. In the skillet, heat about 3-4 minutes. In the microwave, given it 30 second bursts, stirring between bursts, for about 2 minutes. Place the nuts in a bowl and pour oil and spices over them. Toss and stir to coat nuts well.
Spread nuts in one layer on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping nuts with spatula every 5 minutes. Don't burn them!
Remove from oven. If desired, sprinkle with coarse salt or garlic salt. Let rest 2 hours in a cool place.
You can mix the spices ahead, and just use 1 T of the combo spice for every 2 cups of nuts and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Dang good. The finished product is a little granular and messy, but very tasty. I used nuts that were already roasted (a can of fancy mixed nuts from CVS), and it's a bit of overkill on the oil.
