  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the oil, stevia sweetener, liquid stevia sweetener, cumin, and cayenne. Add the walnuts, pecans, and almonds, stirring to coat.
  3. Pour the nut mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan (no cooking spraying needed). Bake for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Stir the nut mixture. Bake for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the nuts are golden brown. Transfer to a bowl. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tip: To dry-roast the nut mixture on the stovetop, cook the nuts in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tip: Store the nuts in a covered container for up to 2 weeks.

Tip: If you like spicier foods, increase the cayenne to your taste preference.
