- Place the baking tray into the oven and allow the nuts and spices to toast for 8 minutes, remove from the oven and cool completely.

It's that simple, ENJOY!
Hint: Blend to your desired consistency. Make it as coarse or powdery as you like. If you are making a bulk batch, you could leave it coarse and adjust depending on how you want to use each serving.
