Spiced Pecans (modified from Martha Stewart)
These are delicious and not too sweet! I think a mix of nuts would be delicious, too.
- 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
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.
