Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups mixed nuts
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 300F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a perfect roasting surface for your dragon-inspired nuts.
- Whip 1 egg white and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl until the mixture becomes light and frothy.
- Pour 2 cups of mixed nuts into the egg white mixture, ensuring each nut gets a thorough coating.
- Combine ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over the coated nuts, tossing gently to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Spread the seasoned nuts across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, preventing overcrowding.
- Roast the nuts in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring once midway to ensure uniform golden color and crisp texture.
- Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet, allowing them to develop a satisfying crunch.
Notes
- Swap out nuts based on preference or what’s in your pantry, keeping the total weight consistent.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to control heat level, starting with less for sensitive palates.
- Use a silicone baking mat instead of parchment paper for even easier cleanup and non-stick roasting.
- Store cooled nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks to maintain maximum crispness.
