Baharat Spice Mix
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
Snack Mix
- 1 package ramen noodles, broken into small pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup redskin peanuts
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup wasabi peas
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to prepare for roasting the snack mix evenly.
- Prepare Baharat Spice Mix: In a bowl, combine ground black pepper, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, cardamom, nutmeg, paprika, and salt. Stir well to create a uniform spice blend.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broken ramen noodles, redskin peanuts, raw cashews, raw almonds, and wasabi peas, ensuring an even distribution.
- Add Butter and Spice: Melt the butter and drizzle it over the ramen mixture. Immediately add 2 tablespoons of the Baharat spice mix and stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with butter and spices.
- Season the Mix: Spread the mixture evenly on a cookie sheet or large baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Baharat spice mix over the top for added flavor.
- Bake the Mix: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once or twice if desired, until the nuts are roasted and the mix is fragrant.
- Cool and Store: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the snack mix to cool completely in the pan. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in a dry place for up to one week.
