Nonstick cooking spray
2 egg whites, slightly beaten
2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons mixed dried herbs
1 tablespoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons paprika
4 cups walnut halves and pieces

Coat a large, shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Mix egg whites with spices. Stir in walnuts until well coated. Spread nuts in prepared pan. Bake in a 350º F oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until dry and crisp. Cool walnuts completely before serving. Makes 4 cups.

Microwave Directions:
Prepare ingredients as above. Spread prepared walnuts in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on HIGH in 4 to 5 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes each. Cool completely.

Tip: Best if made one day ahead. Flavors will intensify overnight. Store in sealed container.
