RECIPE: Roasted Pumpkin Spice Nuts

This recipe would also be great to serve at all the upcoming holidays – everything from Halloween, to Thanksgiving to Christmas. Having a batch of these next to your favorite (organic) cocktail is not a bad idea either.
And just an FYI – I also included some recipe substitutions for those of you who are vegan or allergic to nuts.
