Cinnamon & Sugar Roasted Pecans
Description
Cinnamon & Sugar Roasted Pecans start by coating pecan halves in an egg white and water mixture, which helps the cinnamon, sugar, and salt coating adhere well. This spice blend imparts a warm cinnamon sweetness accented by a touch of salt.
The nuts are roasted slowly at a low oven temperature, about 225 °F, for around an hour with periodic stirring. This method brings out the natural nuttiness and toasts the pecans without burning the sugar, which results in a crisp, evenly coated snack with a light crunch and aromatic warmth.
These roasted pecans are excellent eaten alone, providing a sweet-savory bite, or as a crunchy topping for salads that adds texture and subtle sweetness. Their versatile flavor complements both sweet and savory dishes.
To make cleanup easier, line the baking pan with parchment or a silicone mat. Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature, where they keep fresh for up to a week. Almonds or other favorite nuts can be substituted to try variations of this treat.
Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 1/4 cups pecan halves
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with a silpat, or grease with cooking spray.
- Combine the egg white and water in a mixing bowl; beat with a whisk until frothy. Fold in the pecans to coat evenly.
- Combine the sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon in a container with a lid and shake to mix. Pour over the pecans and stir to coat pecans evenly. Spread the nuts over the prepared pan.
- Bake in preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, stirring every 15 minutes, for about 1 hour. Cool on pan, and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- These roasted pecans can be replaced with almonds or another preferred nut for a different flavor option.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easier removal of nuts and simpler cleanup.
- Store cooled nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- They are enjoyable as a snack on their own or can be added to salads for extra crunch and flavor.
