Ingredients

  • 3-4 cups pecan halves
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Whisk the egg white and water together in a medium bowl until well combined. Add the pecans and stir until all of the pieces are coated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the cinnamon sugar mixture over the pecans and stir until all of the pecans are fully coated.
  • Spread the pecans onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 300°F for 45 minutes, stirring the pecans every 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet; breaking apart any pieces that are stuck together.

Notes

Store in an airtight container up to a month.
These can be varied with the use of different nuts and seasonings. Try adding 1/2 tsp nutmeg to the mixture in the recipe or substitute cayenne pepper for the spices and make some with a bit of heat!
