Indian Spiced Nuts
These savoury spiced nuts make a great foodie gift as they are a perfect snack with drinks. Present these spiced nuts in a nice bottle, or in a cello bag tied with ribbon and placed in a small decorative bowl that is part of the gift.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp Herbies' Curry Mix Seeds and Spices
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp salt flakes
- 1 egg white
- 500 g raw mixed nuts
- 50 g pepitas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150C. Line 1 large or 2 small baking trays with baking paper.
- In a bowl combine the brown sugar, spice mix, cinnamon and salt flakes.
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg white to stiff peaks then whisk in the spice mixture.
- Add the nuts and stir to coat evenly then tip the nuts onto the tray and spread into an even layer. Bake for 15 minutes then remove from the oven and give the nuts a stir. Reduce the oven temperature to 125C.
- Return the nuts to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes or until dry and golden and starting to smell really good. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes then try one - if it’s nice and crunchy they are ready. If not return them to the oven for another few minutes and test again.
- Allow to cool then transfer to an airtight jar or container, or divide into gift bags and seal. Nuts will keep for several weeks if stored in an airtight jar.
