Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- 1 large egg white
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Place the pecans in a large mixing bowl.
- Melt the butter and drizzle it on top of the pecans. Toss to coat the pecans in the butter.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg white with a hand held mixer until frothy and it holds soft peaks.
- Pour over the pecans and stir to coat the pecans with the frothed egg whites.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the pecans and stir to coat.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If your air fryer does not have a preheat option, then run the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
- Place the pecans in the air fryer and cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes stirring every few minutes until the pecans are no longer wet.
- Move the pecans to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread them out into an even layer and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to cool.
- After this time, the pecans are ready to serve and enjoy!
