How to Make

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300F and line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the raw cashews in a mixing bowl, pour the frothy egg white over them, and toss until every nut is lightly coated and sticky.

Step 3

Add the gluten free everything bagel seasoning to the bowl and toss again to ensure the seasoning sticks evenly.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned cashews in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the nuts are fragrant and golden.

Step 6

Allow the cashews to cool entirely on the tray so the coating sets into a crunchy shell.

Helpful Tips

Whisk the Egg White Until It’s Frothy

Don’t just crack the egg white into the bowl and call it done. You need to whisk it with a fork for about 30 seconds until it gets bubbly and frothy on top. This makes it lighter and easier to coat the cashews evenly without leaving thick, gloopy patches.

If the egg white is too thick and heavy, it pools at the bottom of the bowl and some cashews get way too much while others get almost none. That frothy texture is what helps it cling to each nut in a thin, even layer.

You only need 1 tablespoon, so crack one egg white into a small bowl, whisk it up, then measure out what you need. Save the rest for another use or toss it.

Use Raw Cashews, Not Roasted

This recipe calls for raw cashews for a reason. They’re going in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, and if you start with cashews that are already roasted, they’ll end up over-toasted or even burnt by the time you’re done baking.

Raw cashews also have a drier surface that grabs onto the egg white coating better. Roasted cashews, especially oil-roasted ones, are slick and the seasoning won’t stick the same way.

Spread Them Out in a Single Layer

When you put the cashews on the baking sheet, make sure none of them are piled on top of each other. Every cashew should be sitting flat with a little space around it. If they’re crowded or overlapping, they steam instead of toasting and you won’t get that crispy coating.

If your baking sheet feels too small for 2 cups of cashews, use a bigger sheet or split them across two trays. It’s worth the extra effort to get them spread out properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the egg white do in this recipe?

The egg white acts like a thin, sticky coating that helps the everything bagel seasoning stick to each cashew. Without it, the seasoning would just fall right off.

Make sure you whisk the egg white until it’s frothy before tossing it with the cashews. That frothy texture spreads more evenly so every cashew gets a nice, light coating.
