====== Moroccan Spiced Almonds ====== ===== Ingredients ===== * 1/3 cup brown sugar * 2 tablespoons ground cumin * 1 tablespoon ground coriander * 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon * 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger * 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika * 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper * 1-2 teaspoons kosher salt (to taste (I like salty so I go for 2)) * 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper * 1 egg white * 1 pound raw almonds (about 3 cups) ===== Instructions ===== - Preheat oven to 300° F (275° F for convection oven). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. - In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar, spices, salt, and pepper. - To another medium bowl, add the egg white. Whisk briskly until frothy, about 30 seconds. Add the almonds and toss with a wooden spoon until coated. Add the spice mix and toss until the nuts are well-coated. Spread evenly on the baking sheet. - Place in oven and bake, stirring once, until fragrant and toasted, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely and then serve. Nuts will keep well at room temperature in a sealed bag or jar for several days.
