- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until nice and frothy.
- Add the nuts and spice mixture to the egg whites and mix well. Be sure to coat all the nuts.
- Spread the nuts over a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 300 degrees F, or until they are nicely browned. Give them a shake a couple times in the middle of the baking process. You may need a bit more time. Don't let them burn.
- Remove from heat and cool.
Notes
Heat Factor: Medium-Hot if you're using ghost pepper powder. Low-Medium without it.
