Ingredients

• 300 grams Pecans
• 300 grams Walnuts
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 3

Add the pecans and walnuts to the egg white mixture, and stir until the nuts are evenly coated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 5

Pour the sugar and spice mixture over the coated nuts, tossing until the nuts are fully covered in the mixture.

Step 6

Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

Step 7

Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking and ensure even roasting.

Step 8

Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the Norwegian Nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks, making them perfect for gifting or snacking.
