Sweet and Spicy Nut Mix

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl beat together the egg white with 1 Tablespoon water until foamy.

  3. 3

    Add all nuts, sugar, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix well. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly.

  4. 4

    Bake until the nuts are mostly dry but still slightly sticky, about 40-45 minutes stirring every 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the nuts from the oven and stir. Reduce the temperature to 200 degrees. Return the nuts to the oven and bake until crisp, about 30 more minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven and stir to loosen the nuts from the baking sheet; cool completely on the sheet.

  7. 7

    You can keep these in an air tight container for a few weeks.
