Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, cashews, etc.)
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
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 medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water until frothy but not stiff.
Step 3
Add the mixed nuts to the bowl with the egg white and stir until all the nuts are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the nuts, tossing until the nuts are thoroughly coated with the mixture.
Step 6
Spread the coated nuts evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer for even baking.
Step 7
Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.
Step 9
Once fully cooled, transfer the sugared spiced nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
