Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy. This will help the spices stick to the pecans.
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, ground ginger, and kosher salt. Mix until well blended.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pecans, tossing as you go to ensure all the pecans are evenly coated.
Spread the spiced pecans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting and coating.
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 spiced pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored for up to 2 weeks.
