- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- 1 large egg white
- 6 cup unsalted nuts (such as pecans, almonds, walnuts and cashews)
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat oven to 325°F. Grease two 10½- by 15½-inch jelly-roll pans with butter or nonstick spray.
-
Step 2.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon cayenne; stir until blended.
-
Step 3.
In a large bowl, beat 1 large egg white with a wire whisk until foamy, about 30 seconds. Add 6 cups unsalted nuts (such as pecans, almonds, walnuts, and cashews) and stir to coat evenly. Add the sugar-spice mixture and toss until nuts are thoroughly coated.
-
Step 4.
Divide the nut mixture between the prepared jelly-roll pans, spreading evenly in a single layer. Bake, stirring twice during baking, until golden brown and dry, 25 to 27 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the nuts to waxed paper and spread in a single layer. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
