Spicy Sugared Nuts
Sugar-and-Spice Candied Nuts
1/3 cup dark-brown sugar
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt (I might up this by a 1/2 tsp. next time for more of a sweet/salty balance)
Generous pinch of cayenne pepper (I swapped this with 1/4 teaspoon of hot smoked paprika)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pound walnut or pecan halves or whole peeled hazelnuts
1 egg white, room temperature
1 tablespoon water
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix sugars, salt, cayenne, and cinnamon,
making sure there are no lumps; set aside. Beat egg white and water
until frothy but not stiff. Add walnuts, and stir to coat evenly.
Sprinkle nuts with sugar mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Spread
sugared nuts in a single layer on a cookie sheet fitted with parchment
paper. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven, and
separate nuts as they cool. When completely cool, pour the nuts into a
bowl, breaking up any that stick together.
