It’s getting close to Christmas so here is a great idea for a stocking stuffer: Absolutely fabulously delicious roasted nuts. They are to die for yummy! Sweet from the honey, flavorful but not really spicy from the cinnamon and smoked paprika. They are both sweet and savory. You can use any type of nuts, but I went with cashews, almonds and pecans, but walnuts and even macademias would be lovey too. They’ll stay fresh for a couple of weeks, if they last that long!
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups any raw nuts (I used cashews, almonds and pecans)
1 egg white
5 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons brown sugar (unpacked)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon cold water
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
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 sugar, cinnamon, smoked paprika and salt 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.
