Preheat oven to 275° (or 250° for convection oven).

Whip the egg white until it’s frothy. Add the walnuts and stir well, until all the nuts are evenly coated. In a separate bowl, stir the salt, spices, and sugar together. Add this mixture to the nuts and stir it well, again.

Spread the nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for a full hour and a half, stirring every 30 minutes. Store in an airtight jar.

Using different nuts: This recipe should work for most types of nuts, but you may need to adjust the ratio of nuts to everything else. The egg whites should just coat the nuts without much extra. For walnut halves, 12 ounces is about right.
