About a week ago, I tried a roasted nut recipe I had pinned on my Autumn Pinterest board; however, after trying it, I decided my good old standby Sugar-Coated Roasted Nuts were still my favorite.
I use any nut I have around, but almonds or pecans are always a hit. Here’s the recipe:
Sugar-Coated Roasted Nuts
1 large egg white
2 cups nuts (almonds or pecans are wonderful!)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
In a bowl, beat egg white until foamy. Add nuts and toss until well coated. Combine the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the nuts and toss to coat. Spread the nuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 300° for 30 minutes or until browned. Cool and store in an airtight container.
Makes for a wonderful Christmas gift or holiday treat!

Adding a smidge of something hot like cayenne is delicious too. I’m away from my recipe box at the moment, but, if I remember right, my favorite recipe is remarkably like yours with the exception of about 1/4 tsp. of cayenne. Doesn’t make them hot, just adds a nice little kick.

We love sugar-coated nuts,, but have to be careful not to treat ourselves too frequently to them. Thank you for hosting this party, too. Blessings, Gin
