Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 lb pecan halves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees
  • Mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
  • Whisk egg white and water together in a separate bowl until frothy. Toss pecans in the egg white mixture. Mix sugar mixture into pecan mixture until pecans are evenly coated. Spread coated pecans onto a baking sheet. I lay parchment paper on the baking sheet to keep them from sticking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until pecans are evenly browned, 1 hour.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • When completely cool, store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.
