Delicious Spiced Nuts and Seeds

This is a delicious and healthy snack recipe that my neighbor gave to me this morning along with a bag of scrumptious nuts and seeds!

This recipe is variable and can be as simple as you'd like it to be by using only one nut or seed in the recipe.  Use any single or combination of nuts and seeds (total of 2 cups) that you have on hand for a crunchy and delicious snack that satisfies.

1/2 cup whole almonds      
1/2 cup walnuts                   
1/4 cup sunflower seeds    
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds      
1/4 cup pecans, chopped   
1/4 cup pistachios
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp. olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Put all the ingredients into a gallon-size Ziplock bag and shake to thoroughly coat the seeds and nuts with the oil and spices.

Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the nuts and seeds are lightly toasted.  Cool completely before serving.
