Spiced Mixed Nuts

I love pretty much any type of nut there is available....and if you spice them up a bit they are even better! These are great to give out as gifts or just to have around to snack on.

2 1/2 cups of mixed nuts (raw almonds, raw cashews, pecans, raw peanuts, pecans, walnuts)
2 tablespoons light olive oil
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Place the nuts in a large mixing bowl
Add olive oil and spices to bowl and mix so all the nuts are covered.
Transfer from mixing bowl to large baking pan (I cover my pan in foil for easier clean up)
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes tossing the nuts occasionally and making sure not to burn.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
I store mine in a a tightly sealed container once they have cooled
and they last up to a month or so! Enjoy!
