These sweet and spicy keto candied nuts will be a huge hit every time you make them. They have an awesome combination of sweet, spicy, and salty! You can serve these as a quick and easy snack or as an appetizer. They can also be packaged up and given to friends and family as a special homemade treat.

How do you make these nuts sweet and spicy?

We use a combination of keto brown and granulated sugar to provide caramelization and sweetness for our nuts. I used the Swerve brand for both sugars. This adds zero calories and zero net carbs to our nuts. I also think this sugar tastes very similar to regular brown and granulated sugar. Swerve also makes a powdered sugar which is my go-to powdered sugar! To our sugars we add cinnamon, cayenne, chili powder, and salt. These nuts are more sweet than spicy. When you eat them, you’ll first notice the sweetness. Then after eating one or two nuts, you’ll taste a nice hint of spice. If you’d like more spice, you can always add more cayenne or chili powder or both!

Are these sweet and spicy keto candied nuts difficult to make?

These nuts are fun and easy to make, but there are a few things you can do to make sure yours turn out perfectly every time! First, I recommend lining your baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure your nuts won’t stick to the sheet and makes clean up a breeze. Next, make sure you’re using a baking sheet or pan large enough so you can add all your nuts without having them overlap. You’ll want to make sure your nuts are completely coated with the egg white mixture before adding the sugar and spice mixture. This will help ensure your sugar mixture will easily coat all the nuts. While baking, you’ll want to stir your nuts every 15 minutes or so. Last, after baking your nuts, some may stick together. So you’ll want to break apart the ones that do stick together.

How can I serve these sweet and spicy keto candied nuts?

You have a variety of great ways to serve these nuts. They are a great snack option. Since they don’t need to be refrigerated, they are also a fun choice to bring to work or while travelling. If you’d like, you can also serve these nuts as a fun appetizer option. They are both sweet and savory so work great when bringing to a party, potluck, or get together. You could even serve these nuts with your desserts since they’re deliciously sweet! Another fun way to serve these nuts is to gift them to friends and family. Simply place some nuts in a pretty jar or food gift bag and you’ll have an awesome personally made gift that will be a big hit!
