Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until frothy but not stiff.
Step 3
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss until they are thoroughly coated in the egg white mixture.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the coated pecans and stir until the pecans are evenly coated with the sugary spice blend.
Step 6
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even caramelization.
Step 8
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will become crisp and crunchy.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the sugared pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy them as a snack, garnish, or holiday treat!
