These Sweet and Spicy Nuts are addicting. I first receiving this recipe as a gift several years ago. They are always a hit with everyone.
1 Cup sugar
2 Teaspoons salt
1 Teaspoon of ground cumin
1 Teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 Teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 Large egg white
6 Cups unsalted nuts such as walnuts, pecans, natural almonds and/or cashews
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Grease two 15 ½ "x 10 ½ "jelly-roll pans. In small bowl, stir sugar, salt, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, and red pepper.
In large bowl, with wire whisk, beat egg white until foamy. Stir nuts into egg white. Add sugar mixture; toss until nuts are thoroughly coated. Divide nut mixture between prepared jelly-roll pans, spreading evenly. Bake nuts 25-27 minutes or until golden brown and dry, stirring twice during baking. With slotted spoon, transfer nuts to waxed paper; spread in single layer to cool. Store nuts in tightly covered container at room temperature up to 1 month.
