Candied Sweet and Salty Maple Nuts
This quick and easy recipe elevates your usual handful of snacking nuts. By baking the almonds, cashews and pecans in the oven, they become caramelized and crunchy. Their sweet side, from maple sugar, and salty flavour, thanks to a touch of fleur de sel, come together to brighten up pre-dinner drinks.
Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 2 cups (265 g) unsalted nuts (such as almonds, cashews, pecans)
- 1/4 cup (40 g) maple sugar
- 1 tsp fleur de sel
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a sheet pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg white until soft peaks form. Add the nuts, maple sugar and fleur de sel. Mix well. Spread out on the sheet pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the nuts are nicely browned, stirring twice during cooking. Let cool completely. The nuts will keep for 2 months in an airtight container at room temperature.
