Ingredients:
- 3 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups salted peanuts
- 1 cup walnut halves
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups raisins
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites and water until frothy, creating a light and airy mixture.
- Add the peanuts and walnut halves to the bowl, stirring gently to coat them evenly with the frothy egg white mixture.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined, creating a fragrant and flavorful spice blend.
- Gradually add the spice mixture to the nut mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure all nuts are evenly coated with the delicious blend of spices and sweetness.
- Stir in the raisins, distributing them evenly throughout the nut mixture for a delightful burst of fruity flavor in every bite.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two 15×10 inch baking dishes with parchment paper or lightly grease them to prevent sticking.
- Evenly spread the nut mixture into the prepared baking dishes, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer for even baking.
- Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and fragrant, remembering to stir the mixture every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely before handling.
- Once cooled, transfer the spiced mixed nuts to airtight containers for storage, ensuring they are sealed tightly to preserve their freshness and crunchiness.
Enjoy these irresistible spiced mixed nuts as a delightful snack or as a tasty addition to your Thanksgiving spread, and watch as they disappear in no time! 🥜🍁
