Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, or choice)
- 0.33 cup Granular erythritol (or low-carb sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy but not stiff.
Step 3
Add the raw mixed nuts to the egg white mixture and stir until nuts are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the granular erythritol, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.
Step 5
Pour the dry spice mixture over the coated nuts and toss to combine, ensuring the nuts are evenly covered with the sweet and spicy blend.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 7
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are evenly distributed so they toast evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through for even cooking.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely. They will harden as they cool, forming a crunchy candied coating.
Step 10
Once cooled, store the candied nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
