Cayenne Sugar Nuts Recipe

Cayenne Sugar Nuts Recipe

  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 egg white, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 pound whole pecans
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix white sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
  3. Beat egg white and water together in a separate large bowl until frothy but not yet stiff; add pecans and stir to coat. Season nuts with the sugar mixture and spread onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast in oven, turning occasionally, until the nuts are browned and no longer moist, about 30 minutes.
  5. Set baking sheet on a wire rack to cool nuts, breaking apart any nuts stuck together.
