Ingredients

• 2 cups Pecan halves
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Sugar-free sweetener (granulated, such as erythritol)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

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 large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract to the egg white mixture and whisk until combined.

Step 4

Add the pecan halves to the bowl and stir to coat them completely with the egg white mixture.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, combine the sugar-free sweetener, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well blended.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sweetener mixture over the pecans, stirring to ensure all pecans are evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread the coated pecans onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool.

Step 10

Once cooled, store the sugar-free candied pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
