Ingredients:
- 2 cups walnut halves
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a large shallow baking pan with cooking spray, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Spices: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground cumin, curry powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
-
Coat Walnuts: Add the walnut halves to the bowl of spices. Using a spatula or your hands, toss the walnuts until they are thoroughly coated with the spice mixture. Ensure each walnut is coated evenly for maximum flavor.
-
Spread on Pan: Once the walnuts are coated, spread them out onto the prepared baking pan in a single layer. Ensure they are spaced apart to allow for even baking and crispiness.
-
Bake: Place the pan of spiced walnuts in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the walnuts are dry and crisp. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent burning.
-
Cool: Once baked to perfection, remove the pan from the oven and allow the walnuts to cool completely on the pan. This will help them achieve their maximum crunchiness.
-
Serve or Store: Once cooled, these Indian Spice Walnuts are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a flavorful snack at gatherings or package them in festive containers for gifting. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
