Ingredients
- 1 egg white lightly whisked until foamy
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup macadamias whole
- icing sugar to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Combine lightly whisked egg white, sugar, spices and salt in a bowl and stir through the macadamias so they are completely coated.
- Using tongs, transfer the nuts to the tray and place in a single layer, ensuring they are separated.
- Roast for 15 minutes, checking regularly towards the end to make sure they do not burn. They are ready as soon as the coating appears a little glossy and is hard to touch.
- Allow to cool before serving or storing in a container or jar. Sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.
