Some people go nuts over nuts ! Nuts do contain carbs so it’s good to choose the right type of nuts and eat within our macros.
If you have to indulge especially during gatherings or parties (what with Chinese New Year coming soon), try making these healthier versions of Roasted Spiced Nuts which are so flavorful, crispy and yummy. Even my non-keto family members commented that they are the best nuts and they love all the 3 flavors. What’s more ? They actually make great gifts too.
The method I showed you in the video is super easy and clean. I have tried roasting the nuts after mixing with the seasonings in the oven and I found that it is quite messy and the nuts do not look so appealing even though they taste smokier. So I hope you give these nuts a try.

KETO ROASTED SPICED NUTS
Ingredients
ROSEMARY
- 150 g Roasted Nuts
- 1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
- ¼ tsp Ground Cumin
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp Lakanto monk fruit
CINNAMON
- 150 g Roasted Nuts
- 2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Lakanto monk fruit
- 1 tbsp Lakanto monk fruit topping
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil
CURRY
- 150 g Roasted Nuts
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tbsp Lakanto monk fruit
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp curry leaves
- 3 Kaffir Lime Leaves
- 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 3 tbsp Coconut oil
Instructions
- Roast the nuts in a preheated oven at 350F or 180C for about 15 minutes or until golden brown, turning them in between to ensure even browning. The nuts must be hot when mixed with the seasonings. As the amount of nuts is small, I used my mini electric oven to roast the nuts. It's best to roast the almonds first just for 2 to 3 minutes then add in the other nuts. This is because almonds actually take a little longer to roast. I found that when I roast all the different nuts together, almonds always turns out softer than the rest.
- In a bowl, mix all the seasonings until well combined then set aside.
- Heat the oil over the stove until hot then pour over the seasonings. Mix well then add the hot roasted nuts. Mix until all the nuts are well coated. The only exception is that for the curry flavor, add the curry and kaffir lime leaves into the oil then heat the oil until hot. This brings out the flavors more effectively. Then pour onto the seasonings and mix to combine. Add the fresh lemon juice then mix again to combine. Lastly, add the hot roasted nuts and mix until all the nuts are well coated.
- The additional 1 tbsp of Lakanto for the Cinnamon flavor is to be added after the nuts have been mixed with the seasonings. This makes the nuts look a little drier and the sweetener is more visible.
- Pour the nuts onto a tray. Spread them out and let them cool and dry up.
- Store the nuts in an airtight container.
