Ingredients:
Makes 4 cups- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound skinned raw almonds or walnuts or peanuts
- 2 large egg whites , lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons five-spice powder or 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons allspice and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with oil.
Combine the almonds and egg whites in a bowl; stir to coat. In a paper or a plastic bag, combine sugar, five-spice powder, and salt. Transfer almonds to a strainer and drain. Drop the almonds into the bag. Holding the bag shut, shake it to coat the almonds completely. Spread coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast, stirring occasionally, for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool, then transfer to a serving dish. (These will keep for up to 1 week in a tightly covered container and indefinitely in the freezer.)
To re-crisp the nuts, bake them in a 300°F oven until crisp before serving.
