Notes on Savory Spiced Nuts

Regular olive oil works great here if you don’t have garlic olive oil on hand or don’t love garlic as much as we do.
If you like a little heat, add 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture.
These spiced nuts will keep for up to a month in your pantry. They’re the perfect make-ahead snack for your homemade happy hours or any time you’re entertaining!
