Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

with instructions for oven and microwave

Oven Instructions: Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F) top/bottom heat. Heat all ingredients except the nuts together in a small saucepan to release the aromatics and dissolve the salt. Pour into a large bowl, add the nuts, and mix well. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread the nuts out in a single layer. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the aroma indicates that the nuts are ready and they are dark brown. Check frequently, as nuts can burn very easily. Turn and stir every 10 minutes. Remove the nuts, including the aluminum foil, from the baking sheet and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Only then taste and adjust with salt and spices, if necessary. Microwave Instructions: Place all ingredients except the nuts in the largest, lowest-ceiling microwave-safe container that will fit and heat at 100% for 1 minute. Stir. Add the nuts and mix thoroughly. Roast the nuts at full power for about 6 minutes, stirring thoroughly every 2 minutes. Let cool on a piece of aluminum foil or baking paper and season to taste before serving.
