1 large egg white

  • Make the sugar and spice mixture: Combine sugar, spices (such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves), and salt in a bowl. The exact proportions of each ingredient may vary depending on your taste preferences.

  • Cool and store the nuts: Spread the coated nuts on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely. Once cooled, store the nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
