Egg white is used as an “adhesive” to keep the seasonings coated to the nuts – 2 cups sliced Almonds – 1 Tablespoon Egg Whites – 1 teaspoon Fleur de sel (sea salt) – 1 Tablespoon Aleppo pepper (or mild chili flakes) Directions: – Heat oven at 350f – Toss nuts with egg whites, salt, pepper; coat evenly. Adjust seasoning as needed – Lay evenly on a cookie sheet; bake in the oven for approximately 7 minutes – Be sure to open the oven and stir occasionally to ensure evening toasting – Will keep for several weeks; enjoy on salads or as a snack!
