Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, etc.)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy but not stiff. Add the vanilla extract and water, and whisk again to combine.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl with the egg white mixture, and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the coated nuts a little at a time, tossing well after each addition to ensure the nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring the nuts every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even coating and roasting.
Once the nuts are evenly browned and fragrant, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely on the sheet. They will harden further as they cool.
When fully cooled, transfer the cinnamon nuts to an airtight container or serving bowl. Enjoy as a snack, gift, or topping for desserts.
