Yield: 12 servings.
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 cup white sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pound unsalted peanuts
Preheat oven to 250°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg white and water until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and spices.
Add peanuts to egg whites; stir to coat the nuts evenly. Remove the nuts and toss them in the sugar mixture until coated. Spread out the nuts on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 250° for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
