Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Put all flavor ingredients into a mixing bowl.

Add nuts and toss. Transfer to a roasting pan into which the nuts will fit in one single layer. Roast for 20 minutes or until nuts begin to color.

Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil.

NOTES : For a drier consistency substitute spray olive or corn oil. A good thing about making your own flavored nuts is creating the flavors you like, with as much or as little salt as you choose. Store in air-tight container, preferably tin.
