Ingredients
1 large egg white
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon chili powder
½ ground allspice
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups pecan halves or assorted nuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a sheet pan with non-stick foil.
Beat egg white until soft and foamy. Combine sugar with spices and whisk into egg white.
Stir in pecans until well coated. Spread mixture in a single layer onto prepared pan.
Bake pecans for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and using a metal spatula, stir, toss and separate nuts. Return to oven and continue baking 10 minutes longer, until medium brown.
Remove from oven; toss and stir again. Place baking pan on a wire rack to cool.
They will crisp as they cool. Break up any that stick together.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 2 weeks.
