Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup hazelnuts (5 ounces)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon lightly beaten egg white
1 cup whole blanched almonds (5 1/2 ounces)
Special Equipment
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Toast hazelnuts in 1 layer in a large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) until pale golden and skins are blistered, 10 to 15 minutes. Wrap nuts in a kitchen towel and let steam 1 to 2 minutes, then rub off any loose skins in towel (don't worry if some skins don't come off). Cool nuts completely on plate.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and line shallow baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice in a large bowl.
  • Whisk egg white in small bowl until foamy, then add hazelnuts and almonds and toss to coat. Transfer nuts to sugar mixture and toss to coat.
  • Arrange nuts in 1 layer in pan and bake, shaking pan occasionally, until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool nuts completely in pan on a rack.
