Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Pecans
- 300 grams Walnuts
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the pecans and walnuts to the egg white mixture, and stir until the nuts are evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Pour the sugar and spice mixture over the coated nuts, tossing until the nuts are fully covered in the mixture.
Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking and ensure even roasting.
Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the Norwegian Nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks, making them perfect for gifting or snacking.
