Equipment

  • 2 sheet pans

Ingredients

  • 6 cups unsalted roasted cashews
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 pinches Kosher salt (omit if using salted cashews)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300℉. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Do not skip this step!
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, water and vanilla extract until well combined and frothy. Add the cashews and stir to coat thoroughly. Add the remaining ingredients and mix again to evenly distribute the sugars.
  • Divide the cashews between the two baking sheets. Spread them out as much as possible. Bake for 18-24 minutes keep a close eye. Pull them out as soon as you start to see a hint of golden brown on the nuts. The tray may still have bubbly sugar that looks wet - that's okay, it will harden up as it cools. Better to pull them out a tad early than to over bake as the cashews will burn quickly once they start to turn golden. They should smell amazing!
  • Allow the Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Cashews to fully cool before using your hands to break them up and package them. Leaving them out overnight is ideal. Once pacakaged, they will last for months.
