Sugared spiced nuts are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of sugar with the warm, aromatic flavors of pumpkin pie spice. This recipe will guide you through the simple process of making these delicious nuts that can be enjoyed as a snack, a party appetizer, or a homemade gift.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until frothy. The consistency should be light and foamy but not stiff.
- Add the peanuts to the bowl with the egg white mixture. Stir until all the peanuts are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed with the sugar.
- Gradually add the sugar and pumpkin pie spice mixture to the bowl of coated peanuts. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the peanuts are evenly coated with the sugar and spice mixture.
- Spread the coated peanuts in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the peanuts are not clumped together for even baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10-12 minutes to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning. The peanuts should be golden brown and the sugar should be melted and crystallized onto the nuts.
- Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet. This will allow them to crisp up.
- Once completely cool, break apart any clusters and store the sugared spiced nuts in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Be sure to thoroughly coat the peanuts with the sugar and spice mixture to ensure an even flavor distribution.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the nuts from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Allow the nuts to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
- Experiment with different types of nuts such as almonds, cashews, or pecans for a variation in flavor and texture.
- Keep an eye on the nuts while they bake to avoid burning; stir them occasionally for even baking.
With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you've created a batch of delicious sugared spiced nuts. These nuts are perfect for sharing during festive occasions or as a special homemade gift. Enjoy the sweet and spicy flavors that are sure to be a hit with everyone!
