Roasted nuts are always a great option to snack on (unless you are allergic to nuts!). Instead of dry roasted nuts toss your favorite nuts with some spices and they will satisfy your cravings more effectively. Any choice of grounded peppers like cayenne, tamari, chipotle or paprika will create a zing for this recipe. You can be fancy here and create your own version. The recipe I have provided here is very easy to do that I really shouldn’t include it as a recipe!
