Equipment

1 oven
1 Mixing bowl
1 set Measuring cups/spoons
2 large baking sheets with sides
1 sheet parchment paper

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb nuts- pecans, mixed nuts or walnuts
2 large egg whites
1 t vanilla
1 T water
1 C sugar
2 T ground cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg- ground or fresh grated
1/2 t salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
Line 2 baking sheets with sides with parchment paper.
Weigh nuts and measure all ingredients.
In a small bowl- mix together sugar, cinnamon, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Set sugar mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, vanilla and water until frothy.
Add nuts to egg mixture and stir to coat.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture a little at a time over the nuts, stirring to evenly coat.
Spread the coated nuts in an even single layer across the parchment paper lined baking sheets.
Add to a preheated 300° oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring once or twice while baking to make sure they cook evenly.
Nuts will be ready when toasted.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the parchment paper.
Lift the parchment paper and roll the nuts from the center, back and forth to separate them, if needed.
TIP: When cool, just use the parchment paper to lift and funnel the nuts into your storage container.
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 weeks…if they last that long!
These sugared nuts make a great complement to savory trays…or by themselves. Enjoy!
