Cinnamon Candied Pecans
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup white sugar, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 pound pecan halves
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit or 120 degrees Celsius.
2
Mix together sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl to create the perfect blend of flavors.
3
In a large mixing vessel, whisk egg whites and water until they become light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth and even mixture.
4
Toss the pecans in the egg white mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. This step is crucial to achieving a uniform flavor and texture.
5
Slowly pour the sugar mixture into the egg white mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. The pecans should now be evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
6
Spread the pecan mixture onto a baking sheet, making sure to cover the entire surface. This will allow for even cooking and browning.
7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and rearrange the pecans into a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.
8
Continue to cook the pecans in the oven, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until they are evenly browned. This process may take anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes, depending on the desired level of browning.
9
Keep a close eye on the pecans during this time, stirring frequently to prevent burning or undercooking. The end result will be a deliciously toasted and flavorful snack.
