This is modified from a recipe from Martha Stewart. I like it because it’s not overly sweet and the pecans are the main event!
Spiced Pecans (modified from Martha Stewart)
These are delicious and not too sweet! I think a mix of nuts would be delicious, too.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg white
- ¼ cup maple sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper optional
- 2 ½ cups pecan halves or assorted nuts, such as cashews, walnuts, or almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Beat egg white until soft and foamy. When the egg white has been properly beaten, no clear liquid will remain on the bottom of the bowl.
- Combine all remaining ingredients except nuts; whisk into egg white. Stir in nuts until well coated.
- Spread mixture in single layer onto an ungreased baking pan.
- Bake nuts for 15 minutes. (Stirring once in middle of baking time) Use a metal spatula to toss, stir, and separate nuts.
- Reduce oven to 250°F and return nuts to bake until medium brown, about 10 minutes more. Remove from oven; toss and stir again.
- Place baking pan on wire rack to cool (they will crisp as they cool). Break up any that stick together.
