Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups mixed nuts
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk the egg white until frothy, then toss the nuts in it until coated.
  2. Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, and salt, then add to the nuts and toss to coat.
  3. Spread the nuts in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Roast at 300F for 25 minutes, stirring once, until golden and fragrant.
  5. Let cool completely so they crisp up before serving in a festive bowl.

Notes

Store in an airtight jar — they make a sweet edible gift, too.
