Cayenne Sugar Nuts

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix white sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.

3. Beat egg white and water together in a separate large bowl until frothy but not yet stiff; add pecans and stir to coat. Season nuts with the sugar mixture and spread onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

4. Roast in oven, turning occasionally, until the nuts are browned and no longer moist, about 30 minutes.

5. Set baking sheet on a wire rack to cool nuts, breaking apart any nuts stuck together.

Cook's Note:

You can use pecan halves, if you prefer.

These nuts can be stored in a plastic bag in your freezer.
