Low-FODMAP Sweet and Spicy Mixed Nuts and Seeds; Gluten-free, Dairy-free

Although this recipe has not been tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients

Prep time: 5 minutes

Bake time: 30 minutes

Total time: 35 minutes

Bake 300 F

Serving size about 0.75 ounce

Servings about 20

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar

Note 1: These nuts are quite thickly sugared (similar to glazed nuts or beer nuts).  Consider lowering sugar content if a less thick sugar coating is desired (I suggest ¼ cup brown sugar in that case), or increase the amount of nuts by ½ cup

• 2 tsp kosher salt
• ½-1 tsp cayenne pepper or paprika
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 1 pound raw low-FODMAP mixed nuts or seeds, such as low-FODMAP peanuts, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, brazil nuts, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds (minimal almonds and hazelnuts, avoid cashews and pistachios)
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tsp vanilla

Note 2: You can also vary the seasonings: add ½ tsp black pepper, rosemary, cumin or your other desired spices

Note 3: For only sweet flavor, remove the cayenne pepper and salt or other spices.  Just add the cinnamon and nutmeg if desired. Yummy

Directions

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
• In one bowl, mix sugars, salt, cayenne, nutmeg and cinnamon, making sure there are no lumps; set aside
• In a second bowl beat egg white and water until frothy but not stiff
• Add vanilla to egg mixture and beat until combined
• Add nuts to egg mixture, and stir to coat evenly
• Slowly add sugar mixture to nuts and toss until evenly coated
• Spread sugared nuts in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper/non-stick silicone sheet/foil with cooking spray
• Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
• Remove from oven, and separate nuts as they cool
• When completely cool, pour the nuts into a bowl, breaking up any that stick together
• Store in covered container or serve immediately

• Also makes a great gift or stocking stuffer…
• Plus they are a wonderful topping for my low-FODMAP Cinnamon Spiced French Vanilla Ice Cream
