Ingredients

• 2 cups raw cashews
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white, vanilla extract, and water until frothy.

Step 3

Add the raw cashews to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the egg white mixture.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture over the coated cashews and toss until all the cashews are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the cashews out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even coating and to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the cashews from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the spiced candied cashews to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept fresh for up to 2 weeks.
