Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, cashews, etc.)
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
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 mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water until frothy but not stiff.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl with the egg white and stir until all the nuts are evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the nuts, tossing until the nuts are thoroughly coated with the mixture.
Spread the coated nuts evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer for even baking.
Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.
Once fully cooled, transfer the sugared spiced nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
