Tajin mix you’re adding. The roasting time for the nuts will also be less. - Remember to layer the nuts in a single layer on your baking sheet, and use a parchment paper to make cleanup easier.

- If your roasted nuts seem to have lost their crunch factor, you can pop them in the oven once again for a few minutes to get them crunchy again.
