These nuts are SO easy to make, and again — would be great to make if you need to clean out your pantry. Besides the nuts being the only thing you might not have on hand, the other items such as eggs and common spices make these super scrumptious.

How to Make These Delicious Spiced Nuts

Here is my tip when you make these though — use parchment paper. It makes the clean up so much easier.

The run-off of the spice mixture gets super sticky and will be hard to clean off in just a regular pan, but if you use a Silpat or parchment paper — cleanup will be a breeze.

It's really easy — just mix up your ingredients, and then pour your nuts into the bowl and make sure to coat everything well.

Then, spread on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven, making sure to turn the nuts ever so often to make sure that they get evenly cooked.

Once they come out of the oven, make sure to stir them one last time and then allow them to cool.

This will let the seasoning mix harden on the nuts. You can store them in an airtight container. I place mine in the fridge and they last for about a month. I use them to top salads or sometimes, I just snack on them!

My favorite brand of pecans to use is Millican Pecan. I discovered their products when I participated in a blog recipe roundup last year. They are fresh Texas pecans and they are amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use roasted nuts?

Yes, but reduce the baking time to about 15–20 minutes since they're already roasted.

Can I make these without egg whites?

You can substitute 2 tablespoons melted butter or 2 tablespoons maple syrup, although the coating won't be quite as crisp.

Are spiced nuts healthy?

Nuts are packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients. While this recipe includes sugar, it's still a wholesome snack when enjoyed in moderation.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Absolutely! In fact, they're even better after sitting overnight once the flavors have had time to develop.
