I’d Rather be Cooking

In this short video, I show you how to make sugared nuts.

I use a mixture of pecans, almonds, and walnuts, but feel free to pick whichever nuts are your favorite. The egg white is used to act as glue - it makes sure the seasonings stick to and flavor the nut. To get the full recipe, click here.
This is also a great base to make all sorts of flavored nuts - I made a sweet version, to accompany the dessert empanadas, but you could also use other seasonings instead - for example, replace the sugar/cinnamon/vanilla with more savory flavors, like cayenne pepper for spice, extra salt, paprika, garlic powder… The possibilites are endless. Or change up the sweet version by adding honey or cocoa powder. Experiment - it’s a great way to learn!
