## Ingredients

[Substitution Guide](/nourishing-our-community/teaching-kitchen/substitution-guide)

 Egg\_white – 1 white from a large egg Water – 1 Tablespoon Walnuts – 2 cups walnut halves and pieces Sugar – 2 Tablespoons ( or Splenda or brown sugar) Cinnamon – 2 teaspoons Allspice  – ½ teaspoon Salt – 1 pinch (optional) 

## Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 225°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. 

Step 2

Combine egg white and water in a bowl and beat until foamy. Add walnut halves and pieces and toss to coat. Pour the mixture into a strainer and let drain 2-3 minutes. 

Step 3

Combine sugar, cinnamon and allspice in a plastic or paper bag, or a large boil; shake to mix. Add the walnuts; hold the bag shut and shake vigorously to coat the nuts. Spread the nuts in one layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Step 5

Cool completely, stirring occasionally and breaking nuts apart if stuck together. Don't worry if they stick to the foil, it’s easy to peel them off. 

Step 6

Store in a tightly capped jar. 

 

### Notes

For a little citrus flavor try adding 1 teaspoon of orange zest along with the spices.
