Photo: Sweet Spiced Nuts Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 large egg white
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie or chai spice blend
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 cups assorted mixed nuts
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Preheat the oven to 275. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl until frothy. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, the spice blend and cayenne pepper. Toss the nuts in the egg white mixture, then stir in the sugar-spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce.

The bottoms of the nuts burned on the first attempt. Will try to make a second batch, but stir the nuts at the 15 minute mark. Hopefully this helps!

These turned out pretty good. I used Splenda, which worked out fine, and almonds for the nuts. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I made my own spice blend with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and garam masala. It was pretty good, but I think it needs either more cayenne or maybe some smoked paprika. It just needed a little bit more of a kick. I did bake them a little longer as some reviewers had suggested. Definitely very easy, and worth making. Just don't be afraid to play around with the spices to make it just the way you like.

I just made this recipe and it turned out great. I was a bit nervous after reading the mixed reviews. Based on suggestions, I left it in the oven for 45 minutes. I ended up buying salted nuts so left out the salt in the sugar mixture. Like others, I had absolutely no problems with the mixture sticking to the parchment paper. These little morsels are so complex -- crunchy pieces of goodness starting off sweet and ending with a cayenne kick.
