For a different yet delicious spin on festive nuts, try our spiced rum and rosemary mixed nuts! It’s a quick and easy recipe to make. All we do is toss the hazelnuts in frothy egg whites, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet and bake them until they’re toasty. Snack on them by the handful or crunch them up and sprinkle them over salads, on top of ice cream, or as decorations on cakes or pies. They also make a lovely hostess gift around the holidays!
Brown sugar – light or dark brown sugar works best for this recipe, but you can also use coconut sugar. We experimented with other sugars and found that brown sugar gives the nuts a nice caramelized flavor and color. Cinnamon – for a little warmth and flavor. Salt – to make everything pop! Egg white – egg white helps the sugar stick to the nuts and makes them extra crispy in the oven. Whole hazelnuts – just whole raw hazelnuts, no need to blanch them or remove their skins.
