Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Beat the egg white in a large bowl with a handheld mixer for 1-2 minutes, or until foamy. Add the vanilla and continue mixing for another 10 seconds.
- Add the pecans to the foamy egg whites and toss until well coated.
- Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans and toss until evenly coated.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread pecans evenly onto the sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the pecans are toasted and the sugar has begun to crystallize.
- Let cool to room temperature before serving or storing.
Notes
- Eggs: Take some time to thoroughly whisk the egg whites so the cinnamon sugar mixture can stick to the pecans.
- Prep-Ahead: This recipe is great to make a few days before you need them.
- Storage: Keep the pecans in an airtight container for up to 1 to 2 weeks. Be sure to let them cool completely before storing so they don't stick. You can use a plastic storage container or Christmas tin. You can also refrigerate them to extend the shelf life up to 3-4 weeks. However, the taste and texture will be slightly affected if refrigerated.
- Freezing: You can freeze these pecans for up to 3 to 6 months, but the texture won’t be the same upon thawing.
