Sweet & Salty Walnuts


Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!!! My favorite holiday ever! For some reason, more than Christmas. I guess it's because I don't have to worry about greedy people wanting gifts, and it's a day to be thankful of all the blessings in our lives. So since it's also a day of eating I just wanted to share one of the few things I will be cooking! Sweet & Salty Walnuts. I got the recipe online but I made a few adjustments to my liking. I will make this as simply as possible.



Ingredients:
1 bag of walnuts
1 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of salt
a sprinkle of cayenne pepper
a sprinkle of nutmeg
1 egg white (extra large egg)
1 tablespoon of water


Tools:
measuring cups
measuring spoons
whisk
wooden spoon
2 large bowls
baking pan
wax paper



Ok so this is very very simple but before you start, preheat oven to 300 degrees:

1.) In first bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg

2.) In second bowl, beat egg white with a table spoon of water with whisk until it gets a bit foamy.

3.) Pour walnuts into the egg whites and mix until it's evenly distributed.

4.) Slowly pour brown sugar mix into the walnuts and mix

5.) Put a sheet of wax paper on the baking pan and pour walnuts into the pan and distribute throughout. Put pan into the oven for 20 minutes. Once it's done take out and let it cool. Then enjoy!!!
