1 egg white
1 teaspoon water
1 tablespoon Sriracha
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.

    Step 2

    Pour the nuts into a large mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white, water, and Sriracha for a brief minute or two until lightly aerated. Toss with the mixed nuts.
