Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (pecans, almonds, cashews, etc.)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 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 baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white, vanilla extract, and water until frothy but not stiff.
Add the mixed nuts to the egg white mixture, and stir until the nuts are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the nuts, and toss until the nuts are completely coated in the mixture.
Spread the coated nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent sticking.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as the nuts cool.
Once cooled, transfer the sugar spiced nuts to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy within 2 weeks for the freshest flavor!
