• 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon

Preparation

1. 1)Preheat oven to 300*.In a small bowl, mix together the sugars, salt, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Whip egg white with 1 tablespoon water until frothy. Add nuts of choice and stir well to coat. Sprinkle on the sugar mixture and stir to evenly distribute.


2. 2)Line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment. Spread the sugared nuts in a single layer on the sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, stir the nuts, and continue baking until the nuts smell toasted and the sugar coating is caramelized, about another 15 minutes.
