Vegetable Cooking Spray
2 egg whites
2 cups roasted & salted almonds
2 cups roasted & salted cashews
2 cups walnut halves
3/4 cup sugar
1 T curry powder (or more if you really love curry!)
1 T ground cumin
2 1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet, liberally, with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add all nuts & stir until coated. In a small bowl, combine the sugar & all spices. Sprinkle the mixture over the nuts & toss until coated. Arrange the nuts in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes until golden & fragrant. Cool for 1 hour. **Because oven temperatures vary slightly, be sure & watch the nuts to make sure they do not burn!**
Using a metal spatula, remove the nuts from the baking sheet. Break any clusters into bite-sized pieces & place in serving bowls. Nuts can be made days ahead of time & stored in air-tight containers. Freezing is not recommended.
