Directions:
Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 300ºF. Place nuts on a baking sheet and lightly roast (about 5 minutes). Don’t turn the oven off. Stir salt, pepper, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper and hot sauce into the olive oil. Add the roasted nuts and toss to coat. Place nuts back on the baking sheet. Lightly toast for another 5-10 minutes. Add remaining cayenne pepper. Cool.
