Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
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 mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white, vanilla extract, and water until frothy.
Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture and toss until the pecans are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the pecans and toss again until all the pecans are thoroughly coated.
Spread the coated pecans evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even roasting.
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 roasted cinnamon pecans to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
