Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, or any combination)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg white, vanilla extract, and water together until frothy.
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl with the egg white mixture and stir until all the nuts are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the coated nuts and toss until the nuts are fully coated with the cinnamon sugar blend.
Spread the coated nuts onto the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The sugar coating will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
