Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes
  • 2 cups mixed raw nuts of your choice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Crank the oven to 300° (150°C). Line a lipped baking sheet with foil and coat the foil lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk the egg white until very foamy. Add the sugar, salt, cumin, and red-pepper flakes and whisk well. Stir in the nuts and coat completely.
  3. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until they're a deep golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Remove the sheet from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. Break up any nutty clumps. The nuts can be made a week in advance. (Ha! Like they'll ever last that long.) Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Make-ahead--The roasted nuts can be made up to 1 week in advance.
  • Storage--To avoid the nuts becoming sticky, cool them completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian diets.
