Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect roasting temperature. While the oven warms up, gather your mixing bowls and baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your choice of nuts, such as cashews, almonds, pecans, walnuts, and peanuts. Stir gently.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, egg white (or egg alternative), and spices until smooth.
  4. Pour the spice mixture over the prepared nuts and mix to evenly coat.
  5. Transfer the coated nuts onto the lined baking sheet, spreading them into an even layer.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely before serving.
