Ingredients

  • 2 cups salted mixed nuts (see * Note)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Lay one sheet of heavy duty foil (or double layer of regular foil) on a flat surface.
  • Toss all ingredients together in center of foil then spread evenly into a single layer.
  • Seal foil pouch by bringing short ends together folding twice; then fold in the remaining sides making a packet.
  • Place on grill or campfire with medium heat turning often until toasted, approximately 10 minutes. If you don't have a thermometer, use the "hand test": hold the palm of your hand about 5 inches above the heat source, pull it away before it hurts, 5-6 seconds = medium heat.
  • Remove from heat, let cool slightly and give them a quick stir before serving warm.

Notes

*NOTE: If you use unsalted nuts you may want to add a little salt, to taste.
