These candied pecans are such a tasty treat that can be enjoyed on their own or added to salads. They also make great homemade gifts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 10 oz. pecans (about 2 ½ cups)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Prepare a baking pan with shallow sides by lining it with parchment paper.
- Whisk egg white, water, and vanilla extract until foamy. Then mix in the pecans and stir until they are all coated.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt together, then add to the pecans. Stir until everything is combined.
- Next, spread the pecans out on the parchment-lined baking pan. Bake for 1 hour, removing the pan every 20 minutes to stir the pecans around. Using two spatulas to do this is helpful. Stir the pecans with one spatula and use the second one to hold down the parchment paper.
- Allow the pecans to cool before storing them in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to three months. I suggest freezing them on a baking pan all spread out first, and then storing them in a freezer container.
