Slow-roasted pecans coated in a crunchy cinnamon sugar shell. Addictively snackable and perfect for salad toppings, gift giving, or snacking.

  • 1 pound pecan halves (about 4 cups)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 250°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, stir together sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg white, water, and vanilla extract until frothy.

  4. 4

    Add pecan halves to the egg white mixture and stir until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the coated pecans and toss until every pecan is well covered.

  6. 6

    Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes to break up clumps.

  7. 7

    Let cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will crisp up as it cools. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
