Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Curry powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy but not stiff.
Step 3
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss to coat them completely in the egg white mixture.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, mix together the sugar, curry powder, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the pecans, stirring gently to ensure an even coating on all the nuts.
Step 6
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent clumping and ensure even toasting.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pecans to cool completely. The coating will harden as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the candied curried pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.
