I like mixed nuts as a mostly healthy protein snack, but find the flavor bland. As a result I really like flavored ones, but that’s a waste of money when I could buy bulk unseasoned and make my own mixes.
The issue is I don’t really know how to get the spices to adhere to the dry nut properly (I’ve tried making“wet” mixes before, but those required refrigeration. Mustard and cashews is a surprisingly good flavor pair.).
Is there some strange chemical the nut companies are adding to the powder they mix them with or is it a machine?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Usually spritzing them with vegetable oil before tossing them with a dry seasoning will do the trick
Oil slaps forehead. Get me one of those dunce caps I shoulda thought of that.
Edit: yo dawg I heard you like peanuts so I put peanut oil on your peanuts to make the peanut powder stick to them so you could peanut while you peanut
bingo, then bake them for 15-20 min. the oil mostly evaporates and the seasoning sticks
Brilliant, thank you.
?I know you already got the answer but I had to exorcise this joke from my brain
Lol
The title made me giggle.
I’m sorry.
Especially “stick” in quotes.
Also…
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Just the tips?
You need to heat them and toss them in the seasoning so they excrete their natural oils. To help it along add a touch of neutral oil to the pan also. Nonstick wok is ideal but and non stick skillet you can toss with works.
