These pecans are coated with a perfect blend of cinnamon and sugar, making them an irresistible snack for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a party or just need a tasty snack, these pecans are sure to impress. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (8 oz. or 225g) pecan halves 🥜
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted 🧈
  • 1 small egg white 🥚
  • 2 teaspoons water 💧
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
  • 1/2 cup white sugar 🍚
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 🌰

Instructions:

  1. Prep and Preheat:
    • Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Grease a baking sheet with the melted butter to prepare for the pecans.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white, water, and vanilla extract until frothy. This mixture will help the sugar and spices cling to the pecans.
  3. Coat the Pecans:
    • Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir until the pecans are well coated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, salt, and cinnamon. This is your flavor magic!
  5. Toss and Coat:
    • Pour half of the sugar mixture over the pecans and toss several times. Add the remaining sugar mixture and continue to toss until the pecans are evenly coated.
  6. Bake:
    • Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure they are evenly toasted.
  7. Cool and Store:
    • Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
