It’s important for me to have healthy snacks around to prevent going for junk food. Roasted nuts is one of those snacks that I love. They are healthy, easy to make and the flavouring combinations are endless.
Today, I’ve made Ranch flavoured Roasted Nuts. I used a combination of cashews and macadamia nuts but any nut combination would work.
Roasted nuts should always be made in a home kitchen, never a factory. Store bought nuts are usually covered in pro-inflammatory seed oils (soybean, canola or sunflower oil) and coated in MSG, sugar and other questionable ingredients. Nuts should always be roasted at low temperature so as not to damage their nutrients.
Roasted nuts taste fresh and super yummy when made at home.
This recipe is plant based, gluten free, grain free, dairy free and sugar free with nut free option. This recipe can be made with chickpeas instead of nuts.

Key Ingredients & Substitutions:
- Nuts -I used a combination of cashews and macadamia nuts. But any combination of nuts can be used. I just wouldn’t use sliced almonds as they are too thin and will burn easily. This recipe also works good with chickpeas for a nut free option. Roast chickpeas at 350 F for 30-35 minutes.
- Spices
– Dried spices work best for this recipe. I used dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, celery salt to create a ranch flavour.
- Olive oil– Avocado or coconut oil would be good substitutes.
- Nut free option– Substitute 1 can of chickpeas drained for nuts. Roast chickpeas at 350 F for 30-35 minutes.
How to Store these Ranch Roasted Nuts?
Store nuts in an airtight glass container at room temperature for a few days. After that they should be refrigerated. Should be eaten within a week.
