Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Lightly spray a half sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Mix the pecans and almonds in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg white and vanilla extract until the mixture is thick and bubbly. This should take 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the egg white mixture over the mixed nuts, and fold until the nuts are thoroughly coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the sugar mixture to the nuts, and then mix gently until the nuts are well coated.
- Spread the nuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring well every 10 to 15 minutes, or until the nuts appear dry and the sugar has crystallized.
- Remove the pan from the oven and cool the nuts completely before serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.
