Description

These candied pecans are a delightful treat that balances sweet and spicy notes perfectly. By tossing pecan halves in a mixture of egg white and water, then coating them generously with cinnamon and salt, you create a nut snack that is both crunchy and aromatic. The egg white acts as a natural binder, ensuring the spices adhere well without making the nuts soggy. These make for an excellent addition to holiday charcuterie boards, a healthy snack for afternoon energy, or a unique garnish for desserts like ice cream or oatmeal. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, this recipe delivers big flavor with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and 2 tablespoons of water until frothy and well combined.
  3. Place the pecan halves in a large mixing bowl and pour the egg white mixture over them. Toss gently until all the pecans are evenly coated.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon and salt over the wet pecans. Toss again carefully to ensure every nut is thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.
  5. Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the coating is dry and the pecans are fragrant. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will crisp up as it cools.
  8. Once cooled, break apart any pecans that may have stuck together and serve or store in an airtight container.
