Glazed Cashew Nuts (Castanha de Caju Glaceada)
Ingredients
- 1 large egg white
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 cups whole cashew nuts about 14 ounces
- Zest of 1 large orange
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Beat egg white until foamy. Stir in both the salt and orange juice. Combine sugar and spices together in a small bowl. Stir in into the egg white mixture until obtaining a paste. Stir in cashew nuts enough to coat. Lay cashews evenly onto the 2 lined baking sheets, in one single layer on each sheet. Bake cashews for 21 to 23 minutes, stirring once or twice for even baking. Remove from the oven and sprinkle orange zest on top while still hot. Enjoy! Glazed Cashew Nuts make a great snack (tira-gosto) all by themselves, or can be accompanied by an ice-cold beer, guaraná soda, or other drink of your choice.
