Thai Ginger Roasted Nuts

Thai Ginger Roasted Nuts are a delightful snack that combines the crunchy goodness of nuts with the bold flavors of Thai cuisine. Perfect for a quick munch or a flavorful addition to your culinary creations, these roasted nuts are both nutritious and satisfying.

To make Thai Ginger Roasted Nuts, you can use a variety of nuts such as almonds, cashews, or peanuts. The combination of these nuts, along with Thai-inspired seasonings, creates a taste sensation that is hard to resist.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts)
  • 2 tablespoons of ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder (optional for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, chili powder, and salt. Mix until well blended.
  3. Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and stir until the nuts are evenly coated with the ginger mixture.
  4. Spread the coated nuts evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. Keep an eye on them, as nuts can go from perfectly roasted to burnt quickly.
  6. Once golden and fragrant, remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely.

These Thai Ginger Roasted Nuts can be enjoyed as a standalone snack, or used as a topping for salads, stir-fries, or rice dishes. Their unique flavor will elevate any meal or occasion.
