Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Add the water and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
-
Add the mixed nuts to the egg white mixture and toss until the nuts are thoroughly coated.
-
Gradually add the sugar and spice mixture to the nuts, stirring gently to ensure that all the nuts are coated with the sugar mixture.
-
Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced.
-
Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to prevent burning. The nuts are ready when they are golden brown and fragrant.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely before serving. The nuts will crisp up as they cool.

Once cooled, transfer the sweet spiced nuts to an airtight container to preserve their freshness.
