Health and fertility benefits of Cayenne Sugar Nuts
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
Ingredients
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg white, room temperature
1 tablespoon water
1 pound whole pecans
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix white sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
Beat egg white and water together in a separate large bowl until frothy but not yet stiff; add pecans and stir to coat. Season nuts with the sugar mixture and spread onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in oven, turning occasionally, until the nuts are browned and no longer moist, about 30 minutes.
Set baking sheet on a wire rack to cool nuts, breaking apart any nuts stuck together.
