Ingredients
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups halved shelled walnuts
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine egg white, water and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk vigorously for 30 seconds (mixture should be foamy/frothy).
- Add walnuts and stir until all walnuts are coated in egg white.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugars, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the walnuts and stir until completely combined.
- Spread nuts in an even layer onto prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake on 250f for 45-50 minutes, removing cookie sheet from oven every 15 minutes and using a spatula to stir/flip the walnuts (be sure to stir ALL of the sugar mixture as well, or it may burn to the pan).
- Candied walnuts are done when they appear dry and there is no liquid left on the nuts or on the pan.
- After baking, allow to cool at least 15 minutes before enjoying.
- Store uneaten candied walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- You may substitute other nuts for the walnuts. Almonds, pecans, and cashews all work well.
