Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pecans
- 1 cup Almonds
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup White granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy. This should take about 1 minute.
Add the pecans and almonds to the bowl with the egg white mixture and toss to evenly coat the nuts.
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the coated nuts, tossing well to ensure the nuts are evenly coated with the sugary mix.
Add 1 tablespoon of water to the bowl and mix again to help the sugar adhere better to the nuts.
Spread the coated nuts evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring the nuts every 15 minutes to ensure they toast evenly and do not burn.
Once the nuts are golden and crunchy, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The sugar coating will harden as the nuts cool.
Store the cooled nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy them as a snack, dessert topping, or a thoughtful homemade gift!
