Recipe type: Snacks
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 pound
Ingredients
1 lb. Raw Nuts - Almonds, Macadamia, Pumpkin Seeds, Cashews (a crowd favorite), Pecans or Walnuts.
1 Egg White
1 Tablespoon Spice Mix (see below)
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt, flaked, coarse Kosher is best
Spice Mix ideas
• Tandoori
• Fajita
• Taco seasoning
• Curry
• Garlic and Lemon Pepper
• SPIKE seasoning
• Herbs de Provance
Tip: You don't have to make the spice mixture, you can go to Trader Joes and pick up one of several mixes they have, they're pretty great - we like the Chili Lime seasoning salt.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 250˚
Put the room temperature egg white into a clean, dry bowl.
Using a whisk, whip it until it is frothy, but stop before it gets too set, like a meringue.
Measure 1 heaping tablespoon of the spice mixture and whip it into the egg whites
Fold the raw nuts into the egg whites until they are completely covered.
Spread the coated nuts on a baking sheet that has a piece of parchment paper on it. DONT grease the sheet as oils will reduce the shelf life of the roasted nuts.
