About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Coating the nuts in the spiced egg white before they hit the sheet is what keeps the coating even instead of clumping in spots.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Whisk the egg white with brown sugar, paprika, cayenne, cumin and salt until smooth.

  2. 02

    Toss the raw nuts in the spiced egg white before they ever touch the sheet — this even coating is what keeps the spice from clumping.

  3. 03

    Spread in a single layer on a lined sheet.

  4. 04

    Roast at 300°F, stirring every 7–8 minutes, until deeply golden and fragrant, 20–25 minutes total.

  5. 05

    Cool completely on the sheet — they crisp as they cool, not in the oven. Break apart and salt again if needed.

Notes & swaps

  • Coating the nuts in the spiced egg white before they hit the sheet is what keeps the coating even instead of clumping in spots.
  • Keep in an airtight container up to a week; they lose their crunch if sealed while still warm.
