Cinnamon Sugar Coated Nuts

  • 3 -3.5 cups nuts (almonds, pecans and brazil nuts work well as they are a similar size, hazelnuts less so as they are smaller and can get overcooked)
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt1. Preheat oven to 150c/300F. Line 1 large or 2 medium baking trays with parchment paper. In a clean bowl that can fit the nuts and sugar, whisk the egg white until foamy and thick but not yet to soft or firm peaks. Whisk in the vanilla extract once foamy.2. In another bowl, mix the white sugar, cinnamon and salt. 3. Add the nuts to the egg mixture and stir to combine (just use the whisk) and then add the cinnamon sugar and combine to coat the nuts. Bake in oven for 30-40 minutes until crispy. As it cools, it will make a soft cracking sound which is the sugar and egg white crisping up so that it is super crunchy
