Snacking on Autumn Spiced Nuts is quite literally my favorite way to welcome the crisp fall air. This sugar-free nut recipe starts with a medley of almonds, pecans, cashews, and pumpkin seeds, roasted to perfection with warming spices.

Isn’t fall just the best time of the year? Imagine it’s chilly outside while you’re warm inside, sitting by the fire in your cozy slippers, sipping a Homemade Hot Apple Cider or Pimm’s Winter Cup, and snacking on these crunchy bites. Maybe you’re watching a movie or just listening to music. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Ingredients and Spices

As mentioned, these nuts are roasted with a delicious combination of Indian-inspired flavors. Garam masala, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, a little fresh rosemary, and a touch of sweetness from honey make these the ultimate snack.

Storage and Freezing Tips

  • How long can you store them? Stored in a sealed jar, these will keep for up to 2 weeks in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator.
  • Can you freeze them? Once cooled from the oven, place them in a freezer bag or freezer-proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature.

Entertaining with Party Nuts

You can make double batches of these Autumn Spiced Nuts to have around for holiday entertaining. They’re a breeze to throw together and the absolute best thing to serve alongside drinks. If you love a different flavor profile, I also like to use Mexican spices along with lime for my Mexican Chile Lime Peanuts.

Warm Spices, Not Heat

While this roasted mix is full of rich flavor, it is not hot. If you want to add a little heat, toss in a pinch of cayenne pepper. Just remember to taste as you go so you don’t go overboard!

Now that you know how easy it is to make homemade autumn snacks, there is no reason to buy store-bought mixes anymore. Plus, you can easily customize them with your favorite mix of ingredients.
