Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract together until frothy.
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss them to coat evenly with the egg white mixture.
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans and toss until the pecans are evenly 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 them every 10 minutes to ensure even baking.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will become crunchy.
Store the cooled pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
