Ingredients
1poundUnsalted and Unroasted Whole Cashews(~4 cups)
6tbspBrown Sugar
4tbspWhite Sugar
1.5tspCinnamon
1tspSalt
1tspVanilla Extract
1Egg White
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla until very frothy and bubbles form.
In a separate bowl, add the sugars, cinnamon, and salt and stir until well combined.
Add the cashews to a large bowl and pour the frothy egg white mixture over top. Stir until the cashews are nicely coated.
Add the sugar mixture over top.
Stir until well combined and all the cashews are coated.
Lay the cashews out onto the lined baking sheet and push/spread them out with the back of a spoon. It's okay if they're touching but try not to have them overlap. Cover as much of the baking sheet surface as possible.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, stirring the cashews every 15. Allow to cool completely on the sheet pan before eating.
