Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 quarter-cup Brown sugar
- 1 quarter-cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until frothy but not stiff.
Add the mixed nuts to the egg white mixture and toss them to coat evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the nuts and toss until all the nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent sticking.
Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cool, transfer the spiced nuts to an airtight container for storage. They will keep for up to two weeks.
