If you would like to try something different from everyday salted nuts to snack on, give this recipe for roasted nuts a try. Chinese Five Spice powder is a blend of warm, fragrant spices: star anise, fennel, cloves, and cinnamon along with exotic Sichuan peppercorns. Use the nuts of your choice. The nuts will stay crunchy in a tightly closed container for several days. Like any roasted nut, wait for them to fully cool to reach full crunchiness. Snack-on!
