These spiced nuts make for a perfect snack to keep around the house or office. Sweet, salty and warmly spiced they check all the boxes for a tasty treat.
6 cups of mixed nuts (I prefer a combo of almonds, pecans and cashews)
2 egg whites plus 2 Tbs water
2 cups of sugar
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp salt
Whip egg whites and water until stiff peaks form. Fold in sugar, cinnamon and salt. Gently mix in nuts making sure to coat the nuts completely in the egg mixture. Spread onto a parchment lined (I also give the paper a spray with cooking spray) cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes stirring every 15 minutes. Allow to cool then enjoy! These would also make great gifts during the holidays.
Feel free to change the spices, I also enjoy pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon and bet these would be lovely with a chai spice mix as well.
