Masala Nuts!

This recipe is super easy! Yummy and good for you! I'm not quite done with the holiday foods yet.

Masala Nuts
1 egg white
2 Tbs cold water
2/3 cup walnut halves
2/3 cup pecan halves
2/3 cup whole almonds
½ cup sugar
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ginger
¼ tsp nutmeg

Beat egg white and water until frothy. Stir nuts into mixture to coat, then drain slightly in a colander, 3-4 minutes. Mix sugar and spices in a plastic bag. Add nuts and shake to coat. Spread wet nut mixture in a single layer on a microwaveable plate; microwave on high for 1½ to 2 minutes or until mixture is bubbly. Stir and spread into a single layer again. Return to microwave for another 1½ to 2 minutes. Remove; stir to separate. Cool. Store in a sealed container. Makes 2 cups.

Tips:
If microwaving a second batch, use a clean plate, if you reuse, the sugar residue will burn and cause the next batch of nuts to burn too.

Where I live walnuts and pecans are hard to come by and expensive. Just go with the cheapest nut and do all one kind of needed.

If doubling the recipe – there is no need to double the egg white and water. It makes enough for 4 cups of nuts.
