Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white with water and vanilla extract until frothy, but not stiff.
Add the pecans to the egg white mixture, and stir until they are fully coated.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the coated pecans, and gently toss to ensure they are evenly covered.
Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring once or twice during baking to ensure even toasting.
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the Cinnamon Toast Pecans to an airtight container for storage, or serve them immediately as a snack or topping.
