Sweet and Spicy Walnuts

 

1 large egg white

1 tablespoon water

4 cups unsalted California Walnut halves, about 1 pound (if you can't find

unslated the use the salted but cut down on the salt in the recipe)

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons coarse salt

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

 

In large bowl, whisk together egg white and water until foamy; add walnuts and

mix until all nuts are coated; drain excess liquid.

In small bowl, combine sugar, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper and garlic powder.

Stir dry ingredients into walnuts until evenly coated.

Spread walnuts on non-stick baking sheet or silpat or parchment paper.

Bake in 325 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring twice, until nuts are

lightly browned.

Allow to cool on baking sheet. Nuts will become dry and crispy as they cool.

Store in air-tight container. Yields about 4 cups.
