When it comes to winter food to keep us warm, our first thought instantly goes to soups and stews. But nuts and dried fruits also are a great source of energy and nutrition.

They are loaded with protein and good fats – great for skin and heart.

Medical research says, nuts help lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol, they also regulate blood sugar and help bring blood pressure down.

Nuts taste great as they are. So why roast them?

Roasting brings out the oil that most nuts produce, it enriches the flavor, makes them extra crunchy and delicious.

Roasted Nuts – 4 Flavors

In this post, you will get 4 types of roasted nuts recipe done on a stovetop without using an oven or microwave.

Masala Kaju (Cashew)

Spiced Honey Almonds

Herb Walnuts

Mint Makhana (Foxnut)

These roasted nuts are gluten-free, easy to store, perfect for healthy munching, and requires minimal ingredients.

A pack of homemade assorted nuts make an excellent edible gift for the Holiday and festive season to share with family and friends.

Do you need more reason to bookmark this roasted nuts recipe?

What You Need

Tools: A stir-fry pan, a couple of mixing bowls, a big tray or sheet, and a good spatula.

Nuts: For this roasted nuts recipe, you need whole nuts (almonds with skin) without the outer hard shell. Try to use good quality nuts for roasting rather than stale/old ones.

Seasoning: Add the salt and seasoning sparingly as you don’t want to overpower the natural flavor of the nuts.

Storage Containers: Airtight glass containers are the best!

So let’s get to each flavor of the roasted nuts.

Masala Kaju (Cashew): This is an Indian style spicy roasted cashew recipe. The white cashews are roasted in ghee, and later seasoned with red chilli powder, salt, pepper, and Chaat Masala.

In India, masala kaju is the most popular roasted nut flavor.

As the name suggests, it is spicy in taste with the sweetness and richness of ghee.

Honey Spiced Almonds: They are my favorite flavor of roasted nuts.

The honey, cinnamon, and chili flavored savory almonds are coated with a layer of white sugar. Making them crunchy and super addictive.

They are a sweet, spicy, caramelized goodness that disappears really fast. So I suggest making a large batch of these honey spiced almonds.

Herb Walnuts: Toasted in butter with oregano, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and brown sugar, these herb walnuts are the tastiest of them all.

The addition of oregano make them so flavorsome. You can use thyme, rosemary, sage, or any other herb of your choice to flavor the roasted walnuts.

Roasted Mint Makhana: The foxnuts are the new superfood. Apart from making curry and phirni, you can roast them in ghee and flavor with salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, and mint powder.

They are low in calories, not so expensive, and easy to roast.

You can eat roasted makhana while fasting as well.

Serving & Storing Suggestions

Allow roasted nuts to cool down completely before storing them. Transfer them to separate airtight containers and store at room temperature.

They remain fresh, crunchy, and tasty for weeks except for foxnut (best consume it within a day or two).

Serve homemade roasted nuts with a cup of tea as a snack or carry them around with you to satisfy those in-between meals munching cravings.

I am so glad you like the recipe. To make it stick use more fat (oil or butter) and allow the nuts to cool down completely in a tray before storing.
