Tamari-Roasted Nuts

These nuts make a crunchy addition to salads and grains or just to snack on. 
Try them on oatmeal for a change of pace. 

1 Cup Almonds 
1 Cup Walnuts 
½ cup Pumpkin Seeds 
1-2 Tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari 
½ teaspoon ground cumin (or more to taste) 
½ teaspoon ground coriander 
½ teaspoon garlic powder (or more to taste) 
pinch of cayenne (optional but adds a nice kick) 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 

Place nuts & seeds on cookie sheet. Toast in oven until they begin to turn golden and give off a nutty aroma (10-12 minutes). Mix reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari and spices together in large bowl with toasted nuts and toss until well covered. Return to oven to dry out (2-3 minutes). 
Store in freezer or sealed jar.
