Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.

Put the chiles, allspice, cumin, orange zest and cayenne in a spice grinder and pulse until the chiles are ground. (If using chile powder, mix the ingredients in a bowl.)
Add the sugar, canola oil and 2 tablespoons salt. Stir with a fork to evenly coat.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake 4 minutes, then stir with a fork and continue baking until lightly golden, about 4 more minutes.
Pour the nuts onto a clean baking sheet to cool.
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy.
