Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy. This will help the sugar mixture adhere to the pecans.
Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture and stir until all the pecans are evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans, tossing gently to ensure each pecan is well coated.
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting and avoid clumps.
Remove the pecans from the oven when they are lightly browned and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet—they will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the cinnamon pecans to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately to enjoy their freshly roasted sweetness.
