Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix egg white, water, sugar substitute, salt, five spice powder, ginger and cayenne. Add nuts; mix until evenly coated.

Spread nuts in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes until fragrant and golden brown.
