Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups raw mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Add the vanilla extract and whisk again.
Pour the raw mixed nuts into the egg white mixture and toss until all the nuts are well coated.
Drizzle the melted butter and spice mixture over the nuts, stirring to ensure even coating.
Spread the coated nuts in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the nuts are toasted and golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely. The coating will harden as the nuts cool.
Once cool, transfer the coated nut mix to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy!
