Let's Do This!
Preheat your oven to 350F.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg white lightly. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
To the bowl, add your choice of nut then toss to coat.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the sweetener, ginger, cinnamon, and salt.
Sprinkle roughly 1/4 of the sweetener mixture over the egg-coated nuts, then toss to coat. Repeat this until all of the sweetener mixture has been used.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, distribute the coated nuts into a single layer.
Bake for 3 minutes, stir the nuts, then return to the oven for 3 minutes.
Once again, stir the nuts, then return to the oven for 7-9 minutes until they appear toasted.
Allow the nuts to cool for 10-15 minutes before eating. As a note, I like to store mine in the fridge because it makes them even crispier.
Enjoy!
