Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes about 4 cups

Ingredients

1 pound salted mixed nuts
1 egg white
1 teaspoon water
1 tablespoon Sriracha
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.

    Step 2

    Pour the nuts into a large mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white, water, and Sriracha for a brief minute or two until lightly aerated. Toss with the mixed nuts.

    Step 3

    In another bowl, mix together the granulated and brown sugars and rosemary. Pour over the nuts, stirring to coat. Using a rubber spatula, spread the nuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

    Step 4

    Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Extra nuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month.
