"Adapted from epicurious. Great as a snack or in gift-jars too. Cook time is approx 1 hr 20 mins per batch (i usually need to bake them in four batches, as my oven is pathetically small)."

2 teaspoons five-spice powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 egg whites
2 cups pecans (halves)

2 cups cashews
¹⁄₄ cup sugar

directions

Stir the first seven ingredients in a small bowl.
Beat egg whites in large bowl until frothy.
Whisk in the spice mixture.
Add the nuts and toss to coat.
Sprinkle sugar over and toss to coat completely.
Arrange nuts on parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake at 225F until nuts are toasted and coating is dry, for about 1 hour 20 mins (Stir every 20 mins).
Sprinkle nuts with salt to taste, if desired.
Store airtight at room temp for up to a week.
NOTE: I've used peanuts instead of cashews with good results.
And pistachios taste really yummy too.

Hi everyone! I'm addicted to recipezaar - there are so many things that I love about this site; the wonderful people, recipes, lots of great pictures and there's always someone who'll answer my cooking/baking/general question. I grew up in Malaysia, but now live in sunny Singapore. Both are beautiful tropical (read: HOT!) countries in Southeast Asia. There are so many good food here, especially ethnic stuff like spicy Malaysian curries (which will clear the worst blocked nose), flaky & crispy Indian roti paratha/canai, homey Chinese stir-fries, rich & decadent Asian desserts like kuih lapis (Malay many-layers cake), pineapple tarts, crumbly peanut cookies etc. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/zaarfreak/REI/12may05REI2_S.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">
