Roasted Mixed Nuts with Cinnamon & Sugar (David Venable)

By davidv

With their crunchy, sugary, cinnamon coating, these nuts make for a fantastic treat or hostess gift.

Tip: Look for mixed nut blends that contain walnuts, almonds, and pecans. They’re among the most heart-healthy nuts you can buy.

Ingredients

• 4 cups raw mixed nuts
• 1 egg white, beaten until frothy
• 1 Tbsp butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp corn starch
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Put the nuts into a medium-sized mixing bowl. In a small mixing bowl, combine the egg white and butter. In another small mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt.

Fold the egg white and butter mixture into the mixed nuts and then add the cinnamon and sugar mixture; toss until coated.

Spread the nuts onto the cookie sheet (or a silicone baking board). Bake for 20 minutes; stir and bake for another 20 minutes. Allow them to cool, then serve.
