Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 piece Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy. This will help the sugar and spices stick to the pecans.
Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture and toss until they are evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the pecans, tossing as you go, to ensure they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
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 spiced sugared pecans to an airtight container for storage or enjoy immediately!
