Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
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 small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white with water and vanilla extract until frothy, but not stiff.
Step 4
Add the pecans to the egg white mixture, and stir until they are fully coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the coated pecans, and gently toss to ensure they are evenly covered.
Step 6
Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring once or twice during baking to ensure even toasting.
Step 8
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the Cinnamon Toast Pecans to an airtight container for storage, or serve them immediately as a snack or topping.
