Nuts are considered a quality protein, and they offer plenty of good-for-you fats along with some fiber. According to the USDA's Food Guide Pyramid 1/2-ounce portion counts as one serving of protein. Serve as a snack, or sprinkle over salad greens for a sweet and crunchy topper. Ingredients:
1 large egg white |
1 teaspoon water |
2 cups pecan halves |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250°.
2. Combine egg white and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until frothy. Stir in pecans. Add sugar and remaining ingredients except cooking spray, tossing to coat. Spread nut mixture on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 250° for 45 minutes or until dry, stirring once. Cool completely.
