These everything bagel cashews are perfectly seasoned, oven-roasted nuts that stay coated thanks to a professional whipped egg white technique. Roasting cashews in the oven with everything bagel seasoning creates a savory, crunchy snack that's better than store-bought versions where the seasoning falls off. The perfect quick snack for any time!
Whisk egg. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites quickly, until they are lightly frothy.
Add sugar + whisk. Add in the sugar and whisk again until well incorporated. The mix will be very frothy and light in color.
Toss cashews. Add the cashews to the egg white and sugar mixture, and toss to combine.
Add seasoning. Sprinkle in 1/3 of the spice mix, and give the cashews a stir before adding in another 1/3 of the spice mixture.
Spread on pan. Spread the cashews on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle on the last 1/3 of the spice mixture.
Bake + stir. Bake for 15 minutes, then give the nuts a stir to help them roast evenly.
Return to oven. Continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the cashews are golden brown and roasted.
Cool. Allow the cashews to cool on the baking sheet.
Serve + store. Serve while still slightly warm or allow them to cool completely before storing.
Notes
βΉοΈΒ troubleshooting tips
π Watch closely in the final stretch - cashews can shift from golden perfection to burnt in minutes, so peek at them around 20, 25, and 30 minutes.π ββοΈ Resist the urge to stir - when I tried, the coating stuck to the parchment and came right off. Leaving them alone is actually easier and keeps that whipped egg white magic intact.β° Opening the oven a lot? Add time - if you're checking frequently (#impatient), they might need up to 40 minutes to reach that deep golden-brown color.
β»οΈ customize your roasted cashews
spice it up - I always add extra garlic because I'm a self-proclaimed garlic girl. π π» You can also add a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper, too!
go nutty - use a blend of mixed nuts like almonds, walnuts, and peanuts in addition to the cashews for a super fancy snack mix!
