Ingredients
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons warm rendered bacon fat or melted unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 cup raw unsalted almonds
1 cup unsalted cashews
1 cup pecan halves
1 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
1 large egg white
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment.
- Mix the sugar, Cajun seasoning and cayenne together in a small bowl. If your Cajun seasoning does not contain salt, add 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- Mix the warm bacon fat or butter with the garlic in a large bowl. Add the almonds, cashews, pecans and peanuts and toss to coat well.
- In another large bowl, whisk the egg white vigorously until foamy. Add the nuts to the egg white and toss to coat. Add the seasoning mix and toss to coat.
- Spread the nuts on the prepared baking pan in a single layer. Bake, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until glossy and lightly toasted, about 1 hour. Cool completely; the nuts will crisp as they cool.
