Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Water
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, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk the egg white, vanilla extract, and water together until it becomes frothy but not stiff.
Step 4
Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture and gently toss to coat all the pecans evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the pecans and toss again until all the pecans are fully coated.
Step 6
Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.
Step 8
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Step 9
Once completely cooled, transfer the pecans to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or use as a topping for salads, desserts, or holiday dishes.
