Any idea how to get seasoning to "stick" to nuts? (hexbear.net)

I like mixed nuts as a mostly healthy protein snack, but find the flavor bland. As a result I really like flavored ones, but that’s a waste of money when I could buy bulk unseasoned and make my own mixes.

The issue is I don’t really know how to get the spices to adhere to the dry nut properly (I’ve tried making“wet” mixes before, but those required refrigeration. Mustard and cashews is a surprisingly good flavor pair.).

Is there some strange chemical the nut companies are adding to the powder they mix them with or is it a machine?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You need to heat them and toss them in the seasoning so they excrete their natural oils. To help it along add a touch of neutral oil to the pan also. Nonstick wok is ideal but and non stick skillet you can toss with works.
