Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl whisk the egg whites until light and foamy. Set aside.
In a large bowl mix the nuts with the cayenne pepper, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar until evenly coated. Stir in the egg whites 1 tablespoon at a time until well coated.
Spread the nuts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep a close eye on them so they do not burn.
Serve or let cool completely, then store in an airtight container.

Chef Tips

Portion size is important to remember when chowing down on nuts. A portion as described here is roughly 1/3 cup, so portion out what you want and remove the bowl to avoid temptation!
