• Ready In: 23 mins
• Serves: 16
• Yields: 4 cups

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1  egg white
• 3 1⁄2 cups  mixed nuts (I use deluxe mixed nuts with no peanuts)
• 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F and prepare baking sheet. I like to line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, but you can grease your pan if you like.
2. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon and cayenne, set aside.
3. In a bowl large enough to accommodate nuts, whisk the egg white; add nuts, cranberries, sprinkle with sugar mixture and toss to coat. Spread onto prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Cool completely.
5. Store in an airtight container up to a week.
