Homemade Flavored Mixed Nuts

So I was bored one night while eating some mixed nuts and I thought they tasted bland.  I decided that I would try and add seasoning to it.  I went to the cupboard and started mixing random seasoning that I thought would taste great together, mixed them with the nuts and tried tasting them.  To my dismay, the flavoring didn't really stick to the food.  This is what I did to try and correct that problem.

1.  I put all the seasoning into a small pan.  If I remember correctly, this was Italian seasoning, black pepper, garlic salt, and some habanero powdered seasoning from a vendor in Hilo.

2.  I added some water and mixed the seasoning together, added the mixed nuts and let the water reduce while I stirred.  I wanted to use vegetable oil, but I couldn't find any.

3.  I then put the concoction in a oven safe pan and let it bake for about 10 minutes at about 300 degrees.

4.  This is the finished product.  I should've left it in the oven for about 5-10 more minutes but it was getting late and I was worried that I was going to burn it.  Maybe next time I will use my air convection oven so that I can keep an eye on the mixed nuts while I watch TV.

The flavoring stuck to the mixed nuts and it now had taste.  I didn't give it a full taste test as I was tired already and went to bed but I had a couple of pieces and it was much better than it was before this experiment.  Next time, I will try using oil, or maybe butter!
