01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they become frothy. Slowly add the sugar while continuing to beat until you get stiff peaks. Gently fold in the pecans, almonds, and cinnamon, making sure everything is well coated.

Step 2
Spread the nut mixture evenly on a jelly roll pan (about 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 inches). Drizzle the melted butter over the nuts and toss them around to make sure they’re nicely coated.

Step 3
Pop the pan in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, giving the nuts a good toss every 10 minutes or so. This helps them roast evenly and get nice and crisp. You can enjoy these warm or let them cool to room temperature before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This snack is warm, crunchy, and full of cozy cinnamon flavor. It’s a simple way to enjoy nuts with a sweet and spicy twist. Plus, it’s perfect for sharing or munching on throughout the day.
How to serve
Serve these nuts as a healthy snack on their own or sprinkle them over oatmeal, yogurt, or salads for extra crunch and flavor. They also make a great topping for desserts like ice cream or baked apples.
Storage & leftovers
Let the nuts cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or refrigerate to extend freshness. Avoid moisture to keep them crunchy.
