Directions
Warm your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they get frothy. Slowly add the sugar while continuing to beat, until you have nice, stiff peaks. Gently fold in the pecans, almonds, and cinnamon, making sure everything is evenly coated. Spread the nut mixture out on a jelly roll pan (about 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 inches), then drizzle the melted butter over the nuts and toss them to coat well. Pop the pan in the oven and roast the nuts, giving them a good toss every 10 minutes so they crisp up evenly. After about 40 minutes, they should be perfectly roasted. Let them cool a bit, then enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Serving Options
Enjoy these spiced nuts on their own as a snack or sprinkle them over oatmeal, salads, or yogurt. They also pair well with cheese boards and can add a festive touch to holiday desserts.
Storage & Reheating
Store the cooled nuts in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks, or you can refrigerate them to keep them crisp longer.
