Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk the large egg white until it becomes frothy. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Add the pecan halves to the bowl with the egg white mixture, and toss to coat the pecans evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon, and salt mixture over the pecans, and toss again to ensure all the pecans are evenly coated in the spicy-sweet mixture.
Step 6
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans halfway through to ensure they bake evenly.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pecans to cool completely on the pan. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the spiced pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
