How to Make Spiced Up Nuts
- Preheat oven to 225°F (107°C). If using an air fryer, preheat according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together: 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
- In a large bowl, whisk 2 large egg whites until foamy. Add the spice mixture from step 3 and whisk until well combined.
- Add 4 cups mixed nuts (or your choice of nuts) to the bowl. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon granulated sugar over the nuts and toss again to coat.
- Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes (or air fry according to your device’s specifications, checking frequently), or until the nuts are toasted and the coating is dry and slightly caramelized. If using an oven, rotate pans halfway through baking for even cooking.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly on baking sheets.
- Transfer nuts to a large bowl and gently stir in 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger.
- Let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
