Whether it’s to have a snack on hand, to take with you on a road trip or to share at a holiday gathering, these Paleo spiced nuts are a great way to add a little extra flavor to your day! They are super simple, easy to make and obviously crazy addictive!
Perfect For The Holidays
You are definitely going to want to make these Paleo spiced nuts a part of your holiday celebrations this year. Not only would they be great to have sitting with the rest of the appetizers for people to munch on, they’d also make a great DIY gift idea. I always love having some sort of DIY gift to give to family, friends, hosts of gatherings, etc. You can pack them up in mason jars and add a little plaid ribbon around the tops! Ok, you don’t have to use plaid ribbon, but that’s what I’ll be doing! 😉
Crazy Addictive
It would be wrong of me to not warn you that these Paleo spiced nuts are sooooo addictive! Ever since the very first time Justin whipped up a batch I’ve been sold. They have just the right seasonings to keep you coming back for more, especially when they are just sitting on the counter begging for you take a little handful…or a big one, like as many as you can fit in your hand if you’re like me. But for real, that makes them the perfect addition to your holiday festivities this year. Make a double batch and have them out to nibble on. Just be warned, they may not last as long you’d like!
Easy Peasy
In addition to being addictive, these Paleo spiced nuts are also way too easy to make! You just get a bunch of raw, unsalted nuts (we used our favorites in the recipe but you could really go with whatever you have on hand or whatever your favorites are). Then, you roast them for 15 minutes. Everything then comes together in a big mixing bowl, combining some olive oil and seasonings. And that’s why they are super easy and crazy addictive…I can’t figure out if that is the best or most dangerous combo!

I made these and LOVED them for the first day. After that, whenever I’d serve some up, all of the seasonings fell off and sat at the bottom of the bowl. Any tips for keeping the seasoning on the nuts?
Hi Lauren – you can try to use more oil to help the seasonings stick. Some of the seasoning does tend to fall off, but it sticks pretty well for the most part for me. Hopefully the extra oil helps 🙂
These are simply delicious AND addictive! Prepping batch number two at the moment!
Yep, these are hard to put down :). I recommend a double batch!
Thinking of making these nuts for Christmas gifts. How long will they keep?
That’s a great idea! I think we actually did that one year, and made them the week of Christmas and gave them out on Christmas Eve. Can’t say how long people sat on them, but I’d guess not long. They’re pretty addicting. Justin just made a huge batch to take hunting, and he must have made them a week or less before he left…I doubt he’ll bring any home. 😉 Long story short…I think you could easily make them about a week or so in advance, and they’d be great gifts! Hope that helps!
I just made these! Yum! Followed the recipe exactly. Thanks – this is a keeper.
So glad you enjoyed this recipe! It’s always a crowd pleaser when we make it to share with people for family get togethers, holidays, etc. Thanks for taking the time to come back and leave a comment! 🙂
