These Spiced Holiday Nuts are super simple, savory and delicious. Perfect for your holiday cheese tray!

Spiced Holiday Nuts

Can you believe it friends? Thanksgiving is now a thing of the past, and the countdown to Christmas is on! I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving, and I hope your feast was a delicious one!

I thought the Saturday after Thanksgiving would be the perfect time to once again bring you Simple Saturday. Remember?? A recipe that’s just tasty, plain and simple?! And today’s recipe is one I make around holiday time every year, and it’s a piece of cake to whip up!

Spiced Holiday Nuts

These Spiced Holiday Nuts are a family favorite! In this mixture, I combine pecans, cashews and almonds, but feel free to use any nuts that happen to be your favorites. Then I toss them with some savory spices like cumin, paprika, cayenne, chili powder and cinnamon. Finally, I roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes. That’s it! Delicious and done!

Spiced Holiday Nuts

These nuts are the perfect healthy snack for your holiday cheese tray. Serve them with some nice cheeses, crackers, some sliced sausage and a variety of olives, and I guarantee your guests will be asking you for the recipe! I also like to package some up in little gifts bags with holiday ribbon or even pretty little bowls and give as hostess gifts with a bottle of wine when going to holiday parties. These couldn’t be easier folks! Hope you enjoy!
