Description
A whimsical mix of nuts roasted with honey and warming spices for a cozy and addictive snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (about 3 cups) mixed nuts (e.g., 3 oz cashews, 3 oz almonds, 3 oz pecans, 3 oz walnuts, 4 oz peanuts)
- 1 large egg white
- 170 g (about 1/2 cup) honey
- 1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for milder mix)
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whip the egg white until frothy (about 30–60 seconds).
- Add the mixed nuts to the egg white and toss gently to coat all the pieces.
- If the honey is firm, warm it in the microwave for 10–15 seconds. Add honey, spices, and salt to the nuts and mix until even.
- Transfer the nuts onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
- Roast in the oven for 45–60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.
- Remove from the oven when lightly browned and glossy; allow cooling for 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, break apart any clusters and store in an airtight container.
Notes
For a vegan version, replace the egg white with aquafaba. Store in an airtight container for up to 1-2 weeks at room temperature.
