Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract together until frothy but not stiff.
Step 3
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking and prevent sticking.
Step 8
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the candy coated pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
