Instructions
- In a bowl mix granulated white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon powder, and salt. Mix and keep aside until use.
- In another dry bowl pour egg whites. Add a teaspoon of water. Whisk egg whites until its a frothy, fluffy cloud-like consistency.
- Add raw walnuts to egg mix. Pour in vanilla extract. Gently fold in to coat walnuts in egg whites evenly.
- Add in all the sugar mix and fold until all walnuts are evenly coated.
- Spread sugar-coated walnuts onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper (or silicon baking mat). Bake in preheated oven at 300 F for about 30 -35 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes interval. You’ll have to bake these until the coating on the nuts is hardened.
- Remove baked nuts from the oven. Let it cool completely. Serve these candied walnuts immediately as a salad topping or as a snack.
- Or store it in air tight containers for later use or for gifting purpose.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Use raw walnuts, not roasted salted ones.
- The sugar quantity used here does not make super sweet walnuts. If you want to make sweet candy walnuts use more sugar (double the sugar).
- To add more flavors, along with cinnamon add ½ to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper if you like extra kick.
