A delightful snack of sweet and spiced pecans, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the water and egg white until frothy.
Whisking thoroughly helps coat the pecans evenly.
Add the pecans to the egg wash and toss to coat them evenly.
Ensure all pecans are well-coated for a uniform flavor.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Combining the dry ingredients ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the coated pecans and toss until evenly coated.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the pecans.
Spread the pecans in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Stirring helps achieve an even crunch.
Increase the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
The higher temperature adds a final crispiness.
Remove from the oven and let the pecans cool completely before serving.
Cooling allows the coating to set and enhances the crunch.
Enjoy your crispy cinnamon sugar pecans as a snack or topping.
These pecans taste even better the next day as the flavors meld.
