Spicy Sweet Coated Nuts

SPICY SWEET COATED NUTS
Eat | Love | Play ... with food 
This is a quick and easy something to do and is fabulous with a glass of wine, in a salad or even sprinkled over some vanilla ice-cream.  I like to use Brazil nuts, almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts, but you can use anything really.  The secret is the egg white, which helps the seasoning and sugar adhere and it also adds an extra glazed finish.  This stores well in an airtight bottle for up to a weeks but can also be re-crisped in the oven for 3 min.  This make 2 cups.

1 egg white
2 cups assorted UNSALTED  raw nuts
1 tsp garlic seasoning
1 tsp smoked Paprika or chilli powder
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt



Preheat oven to 180'C
Line a large baking sheet with baking paper, oiled
In a bowl whisk egg white until foamy
Add nuts, seasoning and sugar
Toss and coat all over
Smear nuts on baking sheet in a single layer
Bake for 10 min, tossing once or twice
Remove from oven and allow to cool



Cheers, time for a glass of wine.
