The sweetness of the orange juice contrasts nicely with the slightly biting flavor of the curry, which in turn plays up the natural sweetness of the pecans. From Party Nuts! Ingredients:
1 large egg white |
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate |
2 teaspoons curry powder, to taste (2 to 3) |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
raw pecan halves |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 grated orange, zest of |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 225ºF.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. Add the sugar and toss again.
7. Transfer the nuts to the prepared sheet and arrange in a single layer.
