Ingredients You'll Need
1. Nuts
The first key ingredient for this recipe is, of course, nuts! You can use any type of nuts you prefer, such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, or a mix of different nuts. Make sure they are raw and unsalted, as we will be coating them with our own spice blend.
2. Spices
The spices used in this recipe are what give the nuts their delicious holiday flavor. You'll need cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. These warm and aromatic spices are perfect for the holiday season and will make your spiced nuts stand out.
3. Sweetener
To add a touch of sweetness to our spiced nuts, we'll use honey or maple syrup. Both options work well and add a delicious caramelized coating to the nuts.
4. Salt
A pinch of salt is essential to balance out the flavors in our spiced nuts. You can use regular table salt or if you want to add some extra depth of flavor, try using sea salt.
5. Egg White
You might be wondering why we need an egg white for this recipe. Well, it helps the spice mixture to stick to the nuts and also creates a nice crispy texture once baked.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Spice Mixture
In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of allspice. Set aside for later.
2. Whisk the Egg White
In a separate bowl, whisk 1 egg white until it becomes frothy. This will help the spices to stick to the nuts.
3. Coat the Nuts
Add 2 cups of nuts to the egg white and mix until all nuts are coated.
4. Add the Spice Mixture
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the nuts and mix until all nuts are evenly coated with the spices.
5. Add the Sweetener
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup over the nuts and mix until coated.
6. Bake
Spread the coated nuts on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
7. Let Cool and Enjoy!
Once done, remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool before serving. Your Christmas spiced nuts are now ready to be enjoyed!
