Ingredients

• 2 cups Pecan halves
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 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 medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until the mixture is frothy but not stiff.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract to the egg white mixture and whisk again to combine.

Step 4

Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt, mixing well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the coated pecans, tossing them gently to ensure each pecan is thoroughly coated.

Step 7

Spread the pecans onto the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer. Avoid overlapping for even cooking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and stir the pecans to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

Step 9

Return the pecans to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the coating is dry and the pecans are lightly toasted. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 10

Allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool.

Step 11

Once cooled, transfer the pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
