1 egg white
2 T orange zest
.5 C sugar
1 tsp coarse salt
1.5 tsp chili powder
.5 tsp chipotle powder (optional; use cayenne if you prefer more heat)
dash fine-ground pepper
Heat oven to 225 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine orange zest, sugar, salt and spices in a small bowl.
In a separate bowl, coat the nuts with the egg white. Transfer the seasonings to the pecan bowl, and pour back and forth between bowls until the nuts are evenly coated with seasoning and egg.
Spread the nut mixture evenly onto a baking sheet. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the nuts appear dry.
These can be stored in an air-tight container. For healthier modifications, you can reduce/eliminate the salt and/or sugar content. (Since it's the holidays and these are going to be given as gifts, I used the original recipe since I am not sure what everyone else prefers.)
