Provided by gwendee1

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup raw, unsalted pecans
1 cup raw, unsalted walnuts
1 cup raw, unsalted almonds
1 egg white, whisked to frothy
1 tablespoon water
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
2 + teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon Kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste (reduce to 1/4 teaspoon for milder heat)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, add nuts; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and water until frothy, foamy, and bubbly, about 2 minutes by hand. Pour mixture over nuts and toss to coat evenly; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Dump over nuts and toss to coat evenly. Turn nuts out onto prepared baking try, spreading in an even, flat layer. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes or until coating is crisped, dried, and candied. Stir nuts once midway through cooking. Lift parchment paper with nuts off baking tray, set on counter and allow nuts to cool. When nuts are cool enough to handle, break into large clusters, if desired. Store in airtight container.
