Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt*
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg white
- 4 cups (560 g) mixed roasted salted nuts*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the cayenne, salt, cinnamon, ginger, mustard powder, smoked paprika and sugar in a small bowl. Whisk the egg white in a large bowl until frothy. Toss in the nuts, then add the spice mixture and toss until well coated.
- Spread the nuts on the prepared baking sheet; bake until dry, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Notes
- * The amount of salt you need depends on the kind of nuts you use.
- For this recipe I used roasted & lightly salted almonds and pepitas, but raw walnuts and pecans.
- I find that for types you wouldn’t otherwise eat raw (raw almonds – ick), you need to use roasted ones for the recipe, since they won’t really be roasting in the oven, just drying out.
- Adjust the salt content for the kind of nuts you bought.
