Spiced Nuts and Seeds image

Yield makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups raw nuts, such as walnuts and almonds
1/4 cup flaxseed
1/4 cup raw hulled sunflower seeds
1/4 cup quinoa
2 large egg whites
Coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix nuts, flaxseed, sunflower seeds, and quinoa in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together egg whites and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt with the cayenne, cumin, cinnamon, and honey. Pour over nut mixture, and toss to combine.
Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake until dry and darkened, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Season with more salt, if desired. Remove mixture from parchment while cooling so it does not stick. Nuts can be stored for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.
