Spiced nuts.
Spicy Walnuts
2 tablespoons powdered cayenne pepper (or plain hot pepper powder of your choice)
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
6 egg whites (or 1 cup All Whites)
1 pound walnut halves
Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix hot pepper, ginger, salt, and sugar. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy but not stiff. Add walnuts to egg whites and mix gently until walnuts are thoroughly coated, then drain. Put wet walnuts into a large ziplock bag (or other sealable container) and add spice mixture. Seal bag with plenty of air inside and gently roll and shake until walnuts are evenly coated with spice mixture.
Arrange walnuts in a single layer on non-stick baking sheet and bake in oven about 15-20 minutes or until nuts are toasted and the coating is crisp. Spiced nuts will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for 2 to 3 months.
