Ingredients

• 2 cups Pecan halves
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set the mixture aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white, water, and vanilla extract until frothy but not stiff—this should take about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture and gently toss until the pecans are fully coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sugar-and-spice mixture over the pecans, and gently fold everything together to ensure the pecans are evenly coated with the sugar mixture.

Step 6

Spread the coated pecans evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer to ensure even baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring the pecans every 15 minutes to prevent them from sticking and to ensure even caramelization.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The pecans will harden as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the candied pecans to an airtight container for storage, or enjoy them immediately!
