Ready for your kitchen to smell all warm and cozy and fall(ish)? The chai spice mixture on these Chai Spiced Mixed Nuts is so fragrant and warming, I can guarantee you’ll be snacking on these all season long.
I’m a huge fan of nuts for a quick snack but sometimes plain old almonds are bor-ingggg. That’s where spices step in! One of my favorite ways to live up some nuts is to cook them with some spices and a bit of oil.
For these, we went with a fall flavor and used a quick homemade chai spice blend. Here’s what you’ll need:
-
ginger
-
cinnamon
-
clove
-
allspice
-
cardamom
-
salt
Plus, we’re adding in a bit of brown erythritol (we use Swerve) for a touch of sweetness. Talk about delicious!

So if it’s a total of two cups of nuts and it’s 16 servings then a serving size is only 2 tablespoons? A half of a pecan is almost a tablespoon? Is that right ?
