Sweet and Spicy Nuts
Ingredients
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon  water
  • 1 pound  raw whole cashews, whole almonds, walnut halves, and/or pecan halves (about 4 cups)
  • 1/3 cup  sugar
  • 2 teaspoons  salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons  ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon  paprika
  • 1 teaspoon  ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon  cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground ginger
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In a medium bowl beat egg white and water until frothy. Add nuts and toss to coat. Transfer to a wire mesh sieve; drain nuts for 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a large plastic bag combine the sugar, salt, cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne pepper, and ginger. Add the nuts; shake well to coat with the spice mixture. Spread nuts evenly in an ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.

3. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until nuts are toasted and spice mixture is dry, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from oven; transfer to a sheet of foil. Cool completely. Break nuts apart. Store in airtight bag or container at room temperature up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months. Makes 4 cups (twelve, 1/3 cup servings).
