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.
