Sweet-Hot Spiced Pecans

Ingredients:

1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 large egg white
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups pecan halves

Preparation:

In a bowl, mix together sugar, cayenne, salt, coriander, cinnamon, and allspice. Whisk in egg white and oil. Stir in pecan halves.

Spread nuts in a single layer in an oiled nonstick 10- by 15-inch baking pan. Bake in a 300° regular or convection oven, stirring occasionally, until nuts are crisp and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Let cool about 5 minutes, then use a wide spatula to loosen nuts from pan; cool completely. Serve or store airtight at room temperature up to 2 weeks. Makes about 2 cups
