Sweet and spicy candied almonds

Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 Tablespoon molasses
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (use a vegan, gluten-free brand)
  • 2 Tablespoons ground paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups pecans
  • 2 cups blanched almonds
  • 2 cups cashews
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Beat egg whites with salt until foamy.
  3. Beat in honey, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, cayenne, and cinnamon.
  4. Stir in nuts and butter and spread in a large shallow baking pan. (Place foil or parchment paper on the pan first. It makes cleaning the pan a lot easier.)

  6. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
