Using egg whites as an adhesive ensures that spices stick to the nuts during roasting, enhancing flavor and preventing waste from falling off.
Whipping egg whites until foamy is crucial; any yolk will introduce fat, making it difficult to achieve the desired texture necessary for coating.
For every three to four cups of nuts, one large egg white suffices, but a tablespoon of water can help stretch it further if needed.
If avoiding eggs, consider using neutral oils like extra virgin olive oil, or even store-bought egg whites, offering versatile alternatives for spice adhesion.
