Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (pecans, almonds, walnuts, or cashews)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 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 large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white, water, and vanilla extract until the mixture is frothy but not stiff.
Add the mixed nuts to the egg white mixture and toss to coat evenly.
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the coated nuts and toss until the nuts are completely coated with the sugar mixture.
Spread the nuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even coating and crispiness.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, break apart any clusters and store the nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
