Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Prepare the Nuts
In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts. If using whole nuts like walnuts, you may want to roughly chop them for easier snacking. They make one of the best healthy snack ideas.
Season the Nuts
Drizzle the olive oil or melted butter over the nuts, and add honey if desired for sweetness.
Sprinkle with sea salt and ground cinnamon, if using, for added flavor.
Mix Well
Toss the nuts until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the nuts are lightly toasted and fragrant. Be sure to stir the nuts halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting.
Cool and Serve
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely before serving.
Once cooled, transfer the mixed nut snack mix to an airtight container or portion into snack-sized bags for easy grab-and-go snacks.
Optional
For added variety and flavor, consider mixing in dried fruits like cranberries or raisins, coconut flakes, or dark chocolate chips after the nuts have cooled.
Notes
Enjoy your homemade mixed nut snack mix as a nutritious and satisfying snack any time of the day! If you’re looking for diet snacks or healthy snacks for weight loss they are the best option and very filling!
