Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375. Mix sugar, nuts, salt and red pepper together in a bowl. Whisk egg white in a separate bowl until foamy but not stiff. Fold egg white into nut mixture. Mixture will be crumbly.

Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 25-30 mins. (Mixture will foam, rise and expand as it cooks, then flatten as it cools.) Cool completely; break into pieces.
