Spiced Brazil Nuts

Flavoured nuts are kind of becoming an obsession for me and with all of those flavoured nut recipes available, the possibilities are endless. I wanted to steer away from honey this time, I looked at the spices in the cupboard and got to work on sweetly spiced nuts. They were an absolute winner and polished off in no time. This nut recipe is so easy, so there's no excuse for not trying them next time you have guests.

½ cup sugar
¾ tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground cardamom
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
1 egg white
2 Tbsp. water
1 cup Brazil nuts

Preheat an oven to 300°F (150°C/130°C fan, Gas Mark 2).

In a bowl combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg. In a small ramekin, stir together egg white and water, then add to the sugar and spices and mix until combined.

Add Brazil nuts and stir until nuts are completely coated with the syrup. Drain excess liquid from the bowl and place in a single layer on a tray lined with baking paper.

Bake for 40 minutes or until Brazil nuts are golden and crispy.

Serve.
