Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the egg whites and a dash of salt. Whisk the egg whites until they start to become frothy. You can use a hand whisk or an electric mixer.
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure that the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
- Add the macadamia nuts to the frothy egg whites and stir well to coat each nut thoroughly.
- Gradually add the sugar and cinnamon mixture to the macadamia nuts, stirring constantly to make sure each nut is evenly coated with the sugary mixture.
- Spread the coated macadamia nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spread out to allow for even baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Stir the nuts halfway through the baking time to ensure they bake evenly and don't stick together.
- Once the macadamias are golden brown and the coating is crisp, remove from the oven. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet to allow the coating to harden further.
- Once cooled, transfer the cinnamon sugar-crusted macadamias to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious cinnamon sugar-crusted macadamias as a snack or a delightful addition to salads and desserts!
Tips:
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start, as this will help them whip up better and coat the macadamias more evenly.
- Use a clean, grease-free bowl and whisk to beat the egg whites to ensure they reach their full volume.
- Spread the macadamias out evenly on the baking sheet to ensure each nut is evenly coated and to prevent clumping.
- Stir the macadamias halfway through baking to ensure even browning and a consistent crust on all sides.
- Allow the macadamias to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain their crunchy texture.
With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of time, you can create a delicious batch of cinnamon sugar-crusted macadamias. Whether you're enjoying them on their own or using them to add a flavorful crunch to other dishes, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
