Ingredients

• 1 cup Pecans
• 1 cup Almonds
• 1 cup Raw walnuts
• 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Add the vanilla extract and whisk again to combine.

Step 3

Add the pecans, almonds, and walnuts to the bowl with the egg white mixture. Toss until the nuts are evenly coated.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix together the powdered erythritol, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sweetener and spice mixture over the nuts while tossing to ensure even coating.

Step 6

Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it over the nuts. Gently stir to mix everything thoroughly.

Step 7

Spread the nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring the nuts halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.

Step 10

Once cooled, transfer the candied nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.
