Spicy Roasted Nuts
- 2 egg whites
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 10 shakes of Franks Red Hot Sauce
- 5 cups of mixed plain nuts (almonds, pecans, peanuts, sunflower seeds)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- Line a 11 x 17 baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, beat egg whites until frothy. Add in the brown sugar, continue beating until stiff peaks form- this will take about 3-5 minutes.
- To the cooled butter, stir in the spices. Fold the butter mixture slowly into the beaten egg whites.
- Then add in the nuts, stirring gently to ensure all are well coated with the egg white mixture.
- Pour the mixture onto the parchment lined pan, spreading evenly into a single layer.
- Sprinkle the 1 tsp of freshly ground sea salt over the surface.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Then using a spatula break up the mixture and then redistribute into an even layer again.
- Bake for a further 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely. Break up with your hands into small pieces. Store in a glass jar.
