Sweet and Spicy Nuts

I started making these around the holidays. I tried a number of recipes and tweaked them a bit to come up with this. I store them in canning jars, on the counter and they are usually gone within a week. Everyone loves them.

Ingredients:

1 tsp. organic cinnamon

1 tsp. organic cardamom

1 tsp. organic allspice

1 tsp. Celtic or sea salt

½ tsp organic curry powder

1/8 tsp . organic cayenne pepper

1/3 cup swerve (or erythritol or organic sugar)

2 organic pastured egg whites

4 cups organic mixed nuts (I’ve been using a mix of almonds, walnuts and pecans)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250°

In a large bowl, mix all the nuts and spices together.

In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy and foamy. I use a stainless steel bowl.

Pour the egg whites over the nut mixture and mix until combined.

Spread the nuts out on a baking sheet.

Bake 30 minutes – then removed from oven and mix it all up again – then put back in the oven for another 30 minutes – 1 hour total baking time.

Cool and store in jars – enjoy!
