Candied Hazelnuts Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by mixing brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to create a spiced sugar coating. The egg white is whisked until frothy, then hazelnuts are tossed in the egg white to help the sugar mixture adhere evenly. The sugared nuts are spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer and baked at 350°F for 30 minutes, with stirring halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Once cooled, the hazelnuts develop a crisp, sweet, and spiced crust giving them a crunchy texture that complements the hazelnut's natural flavor. This preparation can be made ahead and stored for snacking or used to add sweetness and crunch to various dishes.

- ½ cup brown sugar can sub coconut sugar
