Ingredients
Yield: 20 servings
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar, or maple sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime zest
- 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt, use half the amount If using fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cups raw whole almonds
- 1½ cups raw whole cashews
- 1½ cups raw whole pecans
Method
Warm the oven to 300°F with the rack in the middle position. Line a rimmed baking sheet (a half sheet size or bigger) with parchment paper and keep nearby.
While the oven is heating up, make the spice blend coating. In a small bowl, stir together the coconut sugar, lime zest, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
In a large bowl, beat the egg white and lime juice together until frothy.
Tip in the coconut sugar, spice, and salt blend to the frothy egg white mixture and whisk well to combine.
Tip the mixed nuts into the bowl of the seasoned egg whites. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to toss the nuts and coat them well with the sauce.
Tip the entire bowl onto the lined baking sheet and spread the spiced nuts in a single layer. (Extra sauce at the bottom of the bowl? Turn in more nuts! Don't pour in all the extra sauce into the pan because the sauce can pool at the bottom of the pan and stick.)
Pop the tray in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly toasted and you can smell the fragrant seasonings. Be careful not to overcook the nuts—you don’t want them to burn. And remember: they’ll continue to crisp after you take the tray out of the oven.
Cool the nuts completely and enjoy!
Kitchen notes
- A serving size is ¼ cup.
