You will go nuts for Katie Quinn Davies' clever Christmas gift idea.

3 eggwhites
2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus extra to drizzle
5 cups mixed nuts (we used macadamias, almonds, cashews, pecans and hazelnuts)
1/2 cup (75g) pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/2 cup (80g) sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon chilli flakes
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon mixed spice

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place eggwhites in a large bowl and whisk with electric beaters until soft peaks form. Add maple syrup and beat to just combine. Set aside.
2.

Place all remaining ingredients in a plastic container with a lid and shake well to combine. Tip nut mixture into eggwhite mixture, gently stirring to coat well.
3.

Spread on the baking tray and roast for 10 minutes. Drizzle nuts with a little extra maple syrup, then toss to combine. Roast, tossing once, for a further 10-15 minutes until golden and toasted – watch the nuts to make sure they don’t burn. Cool completely, then place in gift bags.
