By á-3151

Pistachios flavored with thyme, allspice, ginger, cayenne, and angostura bitters get coated with egg white and sugar, then baked until crisp.

Ingredients

• 5 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 dashes angostura bitters
• 1 pound unsalted raw natural pistachios, shelled

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk egg whites, sugar, thyme, allspice, ginger, cayenne pepper, and Angostura bitters in a medium bowl to blend. Fold in pistachios. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet brushed with vegetable oil. Bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and beginning to crisp, 30–35 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack (nuts will crisp as they cool).
