Low Calorie Vegetarian Quick

Ingredients

2 cups bite-size shredded wheat biscuits

2 cups California walnut halves and pieces

2 egg whites

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup chili powder

3 Tbsps chopped fresh thyme OR 1 Tbsp dried thyme

1 Tbsp salt

1 Tbsp cayenne pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, toss together wheat biscuits and California walnut halves and pieces; set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together egg whites, honey, chili powder, thyme, salt and cayenne pepper; stir vigorously with a fork until completely blended. Pour over the walnut mixture and toss energetically and continuously for about 2 minutes to distribute the flavors and coat the walnuts and cereal evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a large baking pan or roasting pan and bake for about 20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the walnuts and cereal have browned lightly and smell toasted. If the mixture seems damp or sticky, bake a few minutes longer. Cool to room temperature.
Store in a covered container.
