Sweet-and-Spicy Pecans
- 1 large egg white
- 2 cups unsalted pecan halves
- 2 cups unsalted roasted cashews
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Kosher salt
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl until foamy.
- Add the nuts, sugar, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix well.
- Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake until the nuts are mostly dry but still slightly sticky, about 40 minutes.
- Remove the nuts from the oven and stir.
- Reduce the temperature to 200 degrees F. Return the nuts to the oven and bake until crisp, about 30 more minutes.
- Stir to loosen the nuts from the baking sheet; cool completely on the sheet.
