Savory Mixed Nuts

Howdy all! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.  First and foremost, I would like to apologize for not getting this post up last night.  This week's recipe is simple, easy, delicious, and literally takes no time at all to make.  Every now and then, I like to send "care packages" for friends or family and loved one's and this is the perfect item to include in a basket of goodies.  It's also great as an appetizer for parties or even just a great snack at work.  Make it at home and tell us your favorite where you served this yummy mix! 

Ingredients:
2/3 cup of your favorite variety of raw nuts (I used almonds, cashews, pecans, & walnuts)
1/4 cup or more raw peanuts
1-1.5 tsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
1 lime, juice of
1.5-2 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt
Dash of citric acid (optional)
1 tsp paprika (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 375 degrees.
2. Mix nuts, oil, lime juice, salt, cayenne pepper, & paprika in a shallow baking pan or tray.
3. Bake in the oven for 5-8 minutes (keep an eye on them because they toast very quickly & can burn easily).
4. Once the nuts are toasted and golden brown in color, pull them out of the oven and let them cool completely.
5. Add citric acid and mix well.
6. Enjoy!
