A delightful snack of roasted nuts coated in a cinnamon sugar glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the nuts.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.
Frothy egg whites help the coating stick to the nuts better.
Add the sugar, sugar substitute, cinnamon, and salt to the egg white and mix well.
Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined for even coating.
Add the pecans to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the nuts.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
A single layer ensures even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Stirring prevents burning and ensures even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving or storing.
Cooling allows the coating to set and become crisp.
