Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large egg white
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 3/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Remove from oven; toss, and stir again. Place baking pan on wire rack to cool (they will crisp as they cool). Break up any that stick together.

ANCHO-SPICED NUTS

Everybody likes something to munch on for extra energy, or to accompany that glass of wine earned by a day of unpacking! You may think you'll never find ancho-chile powder, but McCormick packages it, and it is readily available at most grocery stores. It's really important to keep the heat on low in this recipe, because the nuts and spices are inclined to get too brown.

Yield makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup pecans
1 cup cashews
2 teaspoons light-brown sugar
2 teaspoons ancho-chile powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat. Stir in the nuts, the sugar, and the spices, and toast them together for about 6 minutes. Transfer to a sheet tray, and cool completely. Put the spiced nuts in a Mason jar, and tie with a bow to give as a gift.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh oranges: The oranges you use will greatly impact the flavor of your spiced nuts. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color.
  • Use a variety of nuts: This recipe is a great way to use up any nuts you have on hand. Feel free to mix and match different types of nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews.
  • Toast the nuts: Toasting the nuts before you spice them will help to bring out their flavor. You can toast the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Use a flavorful spice blend: The ancho chili powder and orange zest in this recipe create a delicious and unique flavor combination. You can adjust the amount of ancho chili powder to taste, depending on how spicy you like your nuts.
  • Store the nuts in an airtight container: Once the nuts are coated in the spice blend, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These orange ancho spiced nuts are a delicious and easy snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make a batch of these spiced nuts that everyone will love.
