SPICED GINGER CASHEWS



Spiced Ginger Cashews image

Want to really spice things up? Make these simple roasted cashews with sugar, ground sugar, and cayenne pepper. A frothy egg white helps the spices to stick the nuts and create an irresistable crunch. Serve warm on a charcuterie board or with drinks for an at-home happy hour.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg white
2 1/2 cups roasted cashews

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Stir together sugar, coarse salt, ground ginger, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  • Whisk egg white in a medium bowl until frothy. Stir roasted cashews into egg white; toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle sugar-and-spice mixture over nuts, and stir to coat. Arrange nuts in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool, or serve warm.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the process.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, so it's best to use it whenever possible. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
  • Don't overcook the nuts: Nuts can easily burn, so it's important to keep a close eye on them while they're roasting. Once they're golden brown, remove them from the oven immediately.
  • Let the nuts cool completely: Before you store the nuts, let them cool completely. This will help them to stay crispy.

Conclusion:

Gingery nuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a party or a potluck, and they also make a great gift. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of gingery nuts that will be sure to please everyone. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
