Sweet and Spicy Nuts - 6g Carbs, 3g Fiber
From: www.swansonvitamins
Laura's Inspiration: "I often find recipes [where] I like the taste, but
not all the ingredients, so I substitute the undesirable ingredients
with healthier ones. More and more scientific evidence shows the health
benefits of spices in our diet. This snack is great because it satisfies
your cravings for sweet, salty or spicy and the healthy fats in the nuts
are very filling and satisfy you for a long time, so you aren't tempted
by all the unhealthy snack alternatives. These nuts are also great
sprinkled atop spring mix salads."
1 large egg white
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp Swanson Stevia
1 1/2 tsp Swanson Organic Cumin
1 tsp Swanson Organic Paprika
1 tsp coriander, ground
1/2 tsp Swanson Organic Cayenne
1/4 tsp Swanson Organic Ginger
1 tsp Swanson Organic Cinnamon
2 tsp Swanson Himalayan Crystal Salt, if desired
4 cups nuts, mixed according to your preferences
Suggestions: Swanson Organic Walnuts, Swanson Organic Almonds and Swanson Organic Cashews
In a medium bowl, beat egg white and water until frothy. Add nuts and
toss to coat. In a large plastic bag, combine the stevia and spices.
Note: to customize the taste or spiciness, you may increase, decrease
or omit the spices.
Add nuts to the bag by hand, leaving any unused egg mixture in bowl.
Shake bag well to coat nuts with spice thoroughly. Spread nuts evenly
on an ungreased 15 x 10 baking sheet. Bake at 300 degrees F for 35 to
40 minutes, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and
transfer to a sheet of foil to cool completely. Break apart nuts, if
needed. Store in airtight containers, freezing extras up to 3 months.
