Ingredients

  • 1 egg white
  • 4 cups pecans
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Beat the egg white until it becomes light and fluffy.
  2. Add the pecans and stir to mix.
  3. Add the white sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to coat all the nuts.
  4. Transfer the nuts to the bowl of your slow cooker and spread in an even layer.
  5. Place the lid on the slow cooker and set it on low for two hours, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
  6. When the cooking time is up, spread the cooked pecans in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.
  7. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Start with raw, unsalted pecans. Roasted or salted nuts will alter the flavor and texture of the final product.
  • The egg white might seem like an odd ingredient, but it's crucial for creating that crispy, candy-like coating on the outside of the nuts. 
  • Give the nuts a quick stir about halfway through the cooking time to prevent them from sticking together or burning.
  • The cinnamon sugar combo is classic, but you can change things up to suit your tastes. A dash of cayenne pepper or a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice are delicious.
