• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 dashes of Angostura bitters

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 5 large egg whites, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 4 dashes of Angostura bitters in a medium bowl to blend. Fold in 1 pound unsalted, shelled raw natural pistachios. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet brushed with vegetable oil.
