Calories: 223kcal
Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 4 cups pecan halves
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until frothy and well combined.
- Add the brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt to a separate bowl and mix well to combine.
- Add the pecans to the egg white mixture and toss until evenly coated. Pour the sugar mixture over the pecans and toss again until fully coated.
- Spread the pecans in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overlapping.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the moisture has evaporated and the sugar coating is dry to the touch. Be careful not to burn them.
- Let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing as they’ll crisp up as they cool.
Notes
- Save time/prep ahead:
- You can measure the brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt ahead of time and store the sugar mixture in a small bowl or airtight container until you're ready to make the recipe.
- If you're making these for a holiday gathering or gifting, prepare them a few days ahead of time. Once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
- Since this recipe makes a big batch, you can divide the finished pecans into smaller jars or bags for easy gifting or snacking.
