- Almonds and cashews - be sure to use raw nuts and not roasted nuts. If you prefer to use only cashews or only almonds you can do that too.
- Curry powder - you can use any type of curry powder that you like to make these curried nuts.
- Avocado oil - this helps the nuts become extra crispy and crunchy when roasted. You could swap this for olive oil.
