Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans or mixed nuts
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg white, water, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes frothy but not stiff.
In a separate large bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Add the nuts to the bowl with the egg white mixture, stirring until all the nuts are well coated.
Transfer the coated nuts to the bowl with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Toss until the sugar mixture completely coats the nuts.
Spread the coated nuts out evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating and to prevent sticking.
Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the cinnamon sugared nuts to an airtight container for storage. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
