  • Yield 6 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups pecan halves
  • 2 1/2 cups dry roasted unsalted cashews
  • 1 cup dry roasted unsalted almonds
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the nuts to a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg white, water, and vanilla. Pour this over the nuts and toss to coat.
  3. In small bowl, mix together the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to evenly coat the nuts.
