Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg white large
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 0.33 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 cups mixed nuts raw, unsalted

Equipment

  • 1 rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 250°F.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the egg white until foamy.
  4. Whisk in the maple syrup.
  5. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Add the mixed nuts and toss until evenly coated.
  7. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 60–75 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the coating is dry.
  9. Cool the nuts completely on the baking sheet, about 30 minutes, before serving or storing.

Notes

For an even coating, toss the nuts thoroughly before spreading them in a single layer. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks; freeze for up to 2 months. For a vegan variation, use aquafaba in place of the egg white.
