Spiced Nuts

One of my traditions: I give these out to the Dads every Xmas (but I always sneak a few before I wrap them up). I play around with the spices and their proportions. I also cut down on the sugar when I make them for my diabetic father in law. Read more But you can make them anytime of the year -- great with beer! See less
Ingredients
- 1 large egg white shopping list
- 1/4 cup of sugar (or a bit less, if sugar is a concern) shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon ground clove shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more if you want some heat) shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups mixed nuts, such as almonds, pecans, cashews, peanuts, etc. shopping list
How to make it
- Heat oven to 300F.
- Whisk egg white until frothy and no liquid remains, then stir in spices.
- Stir in nuts.
- Spread on a cookie sheet lined with foil (I use my silpat) and put in oven.
- Bake 15 minutes, then take nuts out to break up the clusters.
- Return to oven, reduce to 250F and bake another 10 minutes (keep an eye on them so the nuts do not scorch!)
- Take out nuts
- Let them cool on the cookie sheet (nuts will turn crispy as they cool).
- Break up the clusters
- Keep in a air-tight container (I put them in little cellophane gift bags with pretty ribbons at Xmas)

This sounds great! I had nuts that were so good at a grand opening one time and was never able to get the recipe, this sounds like it would taste similar. Thank you for posting.

I made this last night after struggling to find a roasted nut recipe that I liked. The combination of spices in this recipe are unusual and very vibrant! They were a hit with my beau, so I'm uploading some pictures for you! Thanks!
