Ingredients

1 pound Pecan halves
2 Tablespoons water
1 Egg white
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Salt

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.
