A simple recipe for making sweet and crunchy roasted pecans coated in cinnamon and sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the egg white until it is slightly frothy.
  3. Add the pecan halves to the egg white and toss until the nuts are evenly coated.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Pour the sugar mixture over the coated pecans. Toss gently until all the pecans are covered with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  6. Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the coating is dry and the pecans are lightly toasted. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
  9. Break apart any clumps once cooled.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg white before coating the nuts.
  • Store cooled pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain crunch.
  • These pecans work well as a topping for salads or served as a simple holiday snack.
