Ingredients
- 16 oz about 3 cups mixed nuts (3 oz cashews, 3 oz almonds, 3 oz pecans, 3 oz walnuts, 4 oz peanuts; omit peanuts for Paleo)
- 1 large egg white
- 170 g about ½ cup honey
- 1 ½ tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper use ¼ tsp for a milder batch
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Whisk the egg white in a medium bowl until frothy, then toss in the mixed nuts to coat. Add honey and spices, stirring until all the nuts are glossy and evenly covered. If the honey is too thick, warm it in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before adding.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 45–60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes so the nuts toast evenly. They should be lightly browned and shiny when done.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Cashews may seem soft at first but will crisp up as they cool. Break into clusters if needed and store once completely cooled.
