Serves: 5 cups
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Line a 11 x 17 baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350℉.
  2. Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, beat egg whites until frothy. Add in the brown sugar, continue beating until stiff peaks form- this will take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. To the cooled butter, stir in the spices. Fold the butter mixture slowly into the beaten egg whites.
  5. Then add in the nuts, stirring gently to ensure all are well coated with the egg white mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture onto the parchment lined pan, spreading evenly into a single layer.
  7. Sprinkle the 1 tsp of freshly ground sea salt over the surface.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes. Then using a spatula break up the mixture and then redistribute into an even layer again.
  9. Bake for a further 15 minutes.
  10. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely. Break up with your hands into small pieces. Store in a glass jar.
