I slashed the sugar in half from where we started, because while sugared nuts are delicious, all that sugar makes me woozy or at least it should , especially around the holidays.

These are sweet, but not too sweet. I like the traditional cinnamon, and the cayenne makes them gently spicy. If you like heat, double the cayenne. My kids would kill me if I did that. Any nuts will do: I used an equal mix of almonds, pecans, and walnuts. Hazelnuts and cashews are also good in this recipe, and macadamias are straight-up indulgent.

A word of warning: keep these in a tightly sealed container, and preferably on a high shelf. Preheat oven to degrees. Combine salt, spices, and sugar in small bowl. Whisk egg white and water together in mixing bowl. Add nuts; stir to coat. Sprinkle spice mixture over nuts and stir to coat evenly.

Spread nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven. When cool, break the nuts apart and store in a tightly sealed container. A very bookish Christmas countdown to start today, easy stovetop sugared nuts , and how to DIY a holiday book page wreath.

Making these right now! Have a holiday party tonight and this is the perfect last minute complement to the menu. Not fluffy! Looks yummy! These look amazing, Anne…I can almost smell them from here!

Anne, thank you for this recipe! I just made these this afternoon and now I know what to give several hard-to-shop-for people on my Christmas list. These are delicious! And I think you have the sugar to nut ratio perfect!

Thank you!! I made these for the first time today and oh — Delicious! Why are my nuts sticking together? They taste good though. Are they crisp or sticky? I would use a larger pan for cooking or separate the nuts into two pans before cooking so you can spread them out more thinly.

How do the roasted salted nuts do under the pressure of this recipe? Did you only leave out the salt or did you have to change the temperature and amount of time in the oven?

I have made these twice and they are wonderful. I use the cloves and we like pecans best because they are softer and a little easier on the teeth. I get the nuts at Costco in 2-lb bags. My son could take more cayenne but this is a perfect blend for gifting. Thanks for your recipe!

Just wondering…. what do you think would happen if I mixed this recipe with lightly salted mixed nuts? The idea would be sweet and salty.. Thank you for this recipe! My family has made these nuts since you first published the recipe in They are easy and delicious, and the perfect thing to put out while having a cocktail before dinner.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Good luck! Sprouts is my favorite of these for nuts because they have all kinds. These nuts are so good! KEYWORDS: Cibo Vita.
