Instructions
Preheat the oven to 150°C. Line a rimmed baking tray with greaseproof paper. Set aside.
Whisk together both sugars, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk egg white with vanilla and water until frothy. Add the nuts and mix with a spatula until well-coated.
Tip the sugar mixture into the nuts and mix again, until nuts are evenly-coated. Transfer nuts onto a baking tray, making sure they are in a single, even layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Allow nuts to cool completely before eating, packaging or storing. Nuts will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for about a month.
