Candied Pecans Recipe (How to Make Praline Pecans)
Description
The candied pecans are prepared by mixing sugar, cinnamon, and salt as the dry coating, then whisking egg white with water and vanilla until frothy. Pecan halves are coated in the egg white mixture, then combined with the cinnamon-sugar blend ensuring even coverage. Spreading the pecans on parchment and baking at 250°F for an hour while stirring every 20 minutes allows the sugar to crystallize around the nuts, creating a crisp, sweet crust.
These praline pecans offer a balance of sweet and warm cinnamon flavor with a crunchy texture. They can be enjoyed as a snack, added to salads for texture, or used to garnish desserts. Baking at low temperature ensures even cooking without burning the sugar.
