Ingredients:

2 egg whites
63g
1 dash salt
1g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
2 tsp cinnamon
6g
4 cups macadamia
600g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
2. Whisk the Egg Whites:
- 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.
3. Combine Sugars and Cinnamon:
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure that the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
4. Coat the Macadamia Nuts:
- Add the macadamia nuts to the frothy egg whites and stir well to coat each nut thoroughly.
5. Add the Sugar Mixture:
- 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.
6. Spread on Baking Sheet:
- 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.
7. Bake:
- 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.
8. Cool:
- 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.
9. Store:
- Once cooled, transfer the cinnamon sugar-crusted macadamias to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
10. Enjoy:
- 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.
