I particularly like this recipe as it was inspired by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, who uses an egg white to create the crunch, and not oil which is often used in other recipes.
You can use whatever combination of nuts you like, and also any combination of flavours you like. Here I have used flavours that I incorporate into a Mexican chilli dish that I love.
This nut mix can be served with drinks or as a snack, but it is fantastic sprinkled over salads.

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 150 degrees fan forced
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper, and place rack into middle of oven
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until foamy
- Stir in the sugar and spices and mix well
- Add the nuts and stir well to thoroughly incorporate
- Tip the nut mix onto the lined tray and spread out into a single layer
- Bake for 15 minutes, remove tray and stir mix around, then spread out again into a single layer again (they will be a little tacky but will dry out during the next bake)
- Return tray to oven and continue to bake for a further 15 minutes, or until nicely golden brown (it takes a total of 30 minutes in my oven)
- Allow nuts to cool on tray, where they will harden up and become crunchy
- Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to three weeks
Hey terrific blog! Does running a blog like this take a massive amount work?
I have very little understanding of programming however I was hoping to start my own blog
in the near future. Anyways, should you have any recommendations or tips
for new blog owners please share. I know this is off subject but I just
needed to ask. Thanks a lot!
Hi Easy Dessert … thanks so much for liking my blog … to be honest I am still in the “baby stages” and learning all the time … I tried to do this myself (everyone kept telling me it was easy to set up a blog) but found that due to my lack of computer skills it was very difficult. I had my son helping me to start with, but ended up getting a professional to fine tune what we had already done. I honestly feel that unless you have the computer skills to start with, you are best going down that path too. I found someone who charges by the hour and was able to give me a quote of what it would cost to upgrade what we had done, and to get me on the right path … it wasn’t cheap in the end, but so worth it. You also need to have a clear idea of what it is you want the site to look like, as indecision will cost time which then costs money. My site was always going to be about sharing recipes, so that part was easy, it was then defining the categories, etc. So if you do a bit of homework to start with, it will save you time and money later. Apart from that, once everything has been set up for you, the only time you spend it uploading recipes, and for me that is easy. Once I have finalised my recipe, I just “cut and paste” it into the blog, upload the pics, and then “post”. All of that takes me a couple of hours as I keep rechecking everything (I never trust myself!), but that is the only ongoing time really, and also answering any queries that come through, but that does’t take a lot of time. I used Mad Hat Media to help me, and contact details are under the “supplier” section on the website … hope that all helps … and good luck … it is such a joy having your own blog and I am sure you will enjoy it xo Gina
Many thanks extremely helpful. Will certainly share website with my friends
