Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 cup Sugar-free sweetener (granulated, such as erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the egg white mixture and whisk until combined.
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and stir to coat them completely with the egg white mixture.
In a separate small bowl, combine the sugar-free sweetener, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well blended.
Sprinkle the sweetener mixture over the pecans, stirring to ensure all pecans are evenly coated.
Spread the coated pecans onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Remove from the oven and allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, store the sugar-free candied pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
