Another little treat that works well as a snack while you’re waiting for the Thanksgiving turkey to come out of the oven, or while watching the ever-present footballs games, or even looking for a midnight snack. These Honey Glazed Mixed Nuts with Chinese Five Spice are sweet, savory, and salty, very sticky and totally delicious. And nut combo will do, but I went with almonds, cashews and pecans. Yummy.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups any raw nuts (I used cashews, almonds and pecans)
1 egg white
1 tablespoon cold water
5 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons brown sugar (unpacked)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons Chinese Five Spice
Directions
Preheat oven to 225F. Line a baking sheet completely with foil and spray with baking spray.
In large bowl, mix together egg white and water with a whisk and whisk until frothy (not stiff peaks). Add in the honey and stir to combine. Add nuts into egg white and water mixture and mix until nuts are completely coated.
Combine brown sugar, salt and Chinese Five Spice in a closed container (I used a tight sealing tupperware-like container, but you could even use a large ziplock bag) and shake until thoroughly combined. Pour sugar mixture over nuts and mix until everything is combined. Pour nut mixture onto prepared pan and spread out into one even layer. Bake until nuts are toasted and aromatic, turning every 15 minutes, for about 1 hour.
Let nuts harden and cool and store in airtight container.
