Ingredients
Scale
Base:
- 16 oz mixed nuts
Spices:
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Sweet Binding:
- ½ cup honey
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a low 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even roasting.
- Crack a large egg white into a mixing bowl and whisk energetically until it becomes light and frothy with soft peaks.
- Pour 16 oz of mixed nuts into the egg white, then add ½ cup honey and all the spice measurements: 1½ tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp chili powder, ½ tsp red pepper flakes, ½ tsp cayenne, ¼ tsp ginger, ¼ tsp cloves, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure every single nut gets completely coated with the spicy-sweet blend.
- Spread the nuts in a single, even layer across the prepared baking sheet so they roast uniformly.
- Place the baking sheet in the 250°F oven and roast for 45-60 minutes, using a spatula to stir the nuts every 15 minutes for consistent browning.
- Remove the baking sheet and let the nuts cool for 10-15 minutes on the counter, during which they will naturally become crispy and develop a delightful crunch.
Notes
- Swap honey for maple syrup or agave if you prefer a different natural sweetener.
- Check nuts every 15 minutes during roasting to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.
- For a vegan version, replace egg white with aquafaba or a flax egg to help spices stick.
- Customize spice blend by adding ground cinnamon, cardamom, or a pinch of cayenne for extra warmth.
