Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 large 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) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy, about 1 minute.
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the egg white mixture.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture over the pecans and toss again until the pecans are thoroughly coated.
Spread the sugared pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the pecans to an airtight container for storage or serve them immediately.
