Ingredients
- 4 cups pecans whole
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchement paper.
- In a large saute pan over medium heat, add pecans in a single layer. Toast, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly golden—about 5-7 minutes. Once toasted, remove the pecans from the pan and set aside.
- In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the egg white in a large bowl until frothy. Add the raw pecans to the egg white and stir until evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and stir until combined. Add to the pecans and stir until coated, then spread onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Use immediately as a garnish or snack, or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
