Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet, liberally, with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the nuts and stir until coated. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, curry powder, cumin, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the nuts and toss until coated. Arrange the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes until golden and fragrant. Cool for 1 hour.
- Using a metal spatula, remove the nuts from the baking sheet. Break the nuts into bite- sized pieces and place in serving bowls.
SPICED GLAZED NUTS AND PRETZEL MIX
This is sweet and spicy and crunchy. Found on David Lebovitz site. Glazing the nuts with spices and adding a touch of sweetness, makes this the perfect nibble before dinner with an aperitif. I melt the butter in a large bowl, so I can do all the mixing in that bowl, making one less thing for me to wash as well. Note that the salt is added after the nuts are stirred, so it doesn't dissolve. And be sure to use coarse salt, which has an appealing, crunchy texture and more delicate flavor than ordinary table salt.

HOT AND SPICY COCKTAIL NUTS
I made these this Christmas as a "nibbling" food, and my family really liked them. They must have been nibbling big time, because these cocktail nuts were all gone before I knew it.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet over low heat. Add the worcestershire sauce, paprika, hot pepper sauce, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne. Mix well.
- Add the nuts and toss well to coat. Cook for 20-25 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently, until the nuts are lightly toasted. Drain on paper towels and serve hot, or store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Use a variety of nuts and pretzels. This will give your snack mix a more interesting flavor and texture.
- Roast the nuts before adding them to the mix. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Add some spices to the mix. This will give it a little kick of flavor. Chili powder, garlic powder, and paprika are all good options.
- Toss the mix in a little oil before baking it. This will help the spices stick to the nuts and pretzels.
- Bake the mix at a low temperature for a long time. This will help the nuts and pretzels to get nice and crispy.
- Let the mix cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent the nuts and pretzels from clumping together.
- Store the mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will last for up to 2 weeks.
