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.

I offer a picture of a couple feral cats we feed at work as tribute to the nut experts

Usually spritzing them with vegetable oil before tossing them with a dry seasoning will do the trick

Oil slaps forehead. Get me one of those dunce caps I shoulda thought of that.

Edit: yo dawg I heard you like peanuts so I put peanut oil on your peanuts to make the peanut powder stick to them so you could peanut while you peanut

bingo, then bake them for 15-20 min. the oil mostly evaporates and the seasoning sticks

The title made me giggle.

I'm sorry.

Especially "stick" in quotes.

I know you already got the answer but I had to exorcise this joke from my brain

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.
