My side dish for Thanksgiving dinner is a spinach salad. I was going to add feta, cranberries, nuts, and raspberry vinaigrette. I found these toasted sugary nuts on pinterest and thought they would be perfect to add to the salad. They were quick and easy to make and made the house smell yummy! And they taste delicious by themselves. Hopefully they are good on the salad as well!
3 cups nuts (I used mostly pecans and some cashews)
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1/2 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar (I used only about 1/4 cup)
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
In a small bowl, whip egg white with water until frothy.
Place nuts in a separate bowl. Add vanilla and toss to combine.
Add the frothy egg white mixture to the bowl with the nuts and toss to combine.
Add the sugars and cinnamon to the bowl with the nuts and toss to combine.
Spread nuts onto a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Separate them as best as possible. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-25 minutes. They are done when they are aromatic and deeper in color.
