Description
Easy-to-make sweet spiced nuts featuring cinnamon, brown sugar, and ginger, plus just a hint of cayenne.
Ingredients
105 grams light brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 egg white, lightly beaten
350 grams nuts, raw and unsalted (about 3 cups)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 295° F / 146° C. Line a half-sheet rimmed baking tray with parchment.
In a medium bowl, add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, kosher salt, and cayenne, and whisk until well-combined.
In a separate large bowl, add the egg white.
Add the mixed nuts to the egg white bowl. Stir to combine, making sure all nuts are evenly coated in the egg white.
Add the sugar-spice mixture and toss to combine.
Spread coated nuts on the prepared baking tray.
Bake in preheated oven, stirring periodically with a spatula, for 35 minutes or until nuts are dry.
Remove from oven. Allow nuts to cool on the parchment-lined tray, tossing occasionally to prevent the nuts from sticking together.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Notes
You can use any nuts you’d like for this recipe. I chose a mix of walnut halves, pecan halves, and raw almonds, but cashews, pistachios, or hazelnuts will also work nicely.
