Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites, left to reach room temperature
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup of white sugar
  • 1 ½ cups of pecan halves
  • 1 ½ cups of whole almonds
  • 4 teaspoons of finely ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup of melted unsalted butter

Step 1

To start, preheat your oven to a cozy 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a bowl, whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt until they froth up nicely. Slowly sprinkle in sugar, continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form. Now, with a gentle touch, fold in a mix of pecans, almonds, and a dash of cinnamon for that extra flavor kick. Grab a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2-inch jelly roll pan and pour the lovely nutty mixture in. Next, drizzle some melted butter over the top and give it a good toss to ensure everything is nicely coated.

Step 2

Pop the pan into the preheated oven and remember to give it a toss every 10 minutes. After about 40 minutes, your nuts should be beautifully crisp. Enjoy this delightful treat warm or at room temperature.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Sealing the nuts in an airtight container will preserve their freshness and ensure they stay crunchy.
  2. 2. Keep the container in a cool, dark place to protect the nuts from heat and sunlight, which can cause them to go rancid.
  3. 3. For added flavor and aroma, try storing the spiced nuts in a decorative glass jar with a sealed lid.
