Ingredients for 4
- 120 g pecan halves
- 100 g walnut halves
- 100 g macadamia nuts
- 1 egg white , lightly whisked
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary , finely chopped
- 1 orange , zest only
- ½ tsp smoked sea salt flakes
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Method
- Heat the oven to 150C fan and line a tray with baking paper.
- Whisk the egg white to a loose foam, then stir through the maple syrup, rosemary and orange zest.
- Fold in all the nuts so each is coated in the glaze.
- Spread well apart on the tray and roast for 14-16 minutes, stirring twice, until lacquered and deep gold.
- Immediately scatter with smoked salt and black pepper and separate any clumps with a fork.
- Cool completely so the glaze crystallises to a brittle, crackly shell.
