Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 large egg white
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the egg white and water until slightly frothy.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt together.
- Add the pecans to the egg white mixture and toss gently until the nuts are lightly coated.
- Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the coated pecans. Toss again until all the nuts are evenly covered.
- Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not let them overlap.
- Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
- Break apart any clusters before storing.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh pecans.
- Store cooled candied pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- You can substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar for a deeper molasses flavor.
