SWEET & SAVORY SPICED NUTS

I found this recipe on familyfun.com They used pecans in the recipe, but I am sure you could sub any nuts you choose. They use a bit of canola or corn oil in the glaze, you could use a mild flavoured olive oil as well. These would be a great addition to any holiday goodie basket. They do say to avoid putting the nuts in plastic bags because the coating will rub off. The best method to package them would be in a small glass bowl wrapped with cellophane, or in a small decorative tin.

SWEET AND SAVORY NUTS

These nuts get an extra kick from a sprinkle of ancho chili powder.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Nuts & Seeds     Almonds

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large egg white
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups nuts (pecans, walnuts, and almonds)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Lightly beat egg white in a large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients except nuts, mixing until slightly frothy. Fold in nuts.
  • Spray or lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet. Pour mixture onto sheet, spreading nuts out in a single layer. Bake until crispy, 40 to 45 minutes, turning once after 20 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right nuts: Different nuts have different flavors and textures, so choose the ones that you like best. Some popular choices include almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans, and walnuts.
  • Roast the nuts: Roasting the nuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crispy. You can roast them in the oven or in a pan on the stovetop.
  • Use fresh spices: Fresh spices will give your nuts the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, you can use dried spices, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're roasting the nuts, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Watch the nuts closely: Nuts can burn easily, so watch them closely while they're roasting. Stir them frequently to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Let the nuts cool: Once the nuts are roasted, let them cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their crispy texture.

Conclusion:

Spiced nuts are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used as an ingredient in other dishes. They're also a great way to add some extra flavor and crunch to your meals. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a spiced nut recipe that you'll love.
