Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
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 the egg white and water together until frothy. This will help the sugar and spices stick to the pecans.
Step 3
Add the pecan halves to the bowl with the egg white mixture. Stir well to ensure all the pecans are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly blended.
Step 5
Pour the sugar mixture over the coated pecans and stir until the pecans are thoroughly coated with the sugary spice blend.
Step 6
Spread the pecans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and promote even caramelization.
Step 8
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool, creating a deliciously crunchy texture.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the candied pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be enjoyed immediately or kept for up to two weeks.
