Spiced Nuts With Sugared Bacon
- 2 cups unsalted, roasted mixed nuts (or use all almonds or cashews)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons egg white, beaten slightly
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- Pinch of cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
- 3/4 pound sliced bacon
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, toss nuts with egg white, coating nuts evenly. Add granulated sugar, spices, salt and cayenne, and toss to combine.
- 2. Spread nuts on a baking sheet. Roast, stirring frequently and breaking up any clumps, until nuts are nicely browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Break up any remaining clumps while nuts are still warm; immediately transfer to a bowl.
- 3. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick liner (or use parchment paper sprayed with nonstick spray). Arrange bacon in a single layer on baking sheet. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of brown sugar over bacon, coating both sides. Bake until crisp and dark golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
- 4. Transfer bacon slices to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet (or some paper towels) to cool. Cool. Break bacon into bite-size pieces and mix with nuts.
