Whisk the sugar and spices together until combined and set aside.

In a large bowl, add 1 egg white (or 2 tablespoons of liquid egg whites) and whisk until foamy (about 15-20 seconds).

Add 4 cups of mixed raw nuts (1 cup each of almonds, pecans, peanuts, and cashews) to the egg white and mix to coat the nuts.

Add the spice mix to the nuts and mix until everything is nicely combined and coated.

Spread the nut mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake at 250°F for 40 to 45 minutes until the nuts are dry and crispy.
