Hi Nicky

I buy raw unsalted nuts and oven roast them myself.
Something I learnt early - it only takes 8 minutes in a hot
oven for mixed nuts; I'd guess at 3-5 minutes maximum for
pumpkin, sunflower etc.

I don't add salt - to anything. I get more than I need in
the small quantities of processed foods I eat and in eating
out.
