Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups mixed nuts
  • 1 egg white
  • 0.75 cup sugar
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk the egg white until frothy, then toss the nuts to coat.
  2. Mix the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, then toss with the nuts.
  3. Spread on a parchment-lined sheet in a single layer.
  4. Bake at 300F for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  5. Cool completely so the coating crisps before breaking apart.

Notes

Stirring keeps them from baking into one big candied slab.
