Candied Pecans

 

Ingredients—

 

½ Cup Granulated Sugar

½ Cup Light Brown Sugar

2 TBSP Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp Salt

16oz Pecan Halves

1 Large Egg White

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 tsp water

 

Directions—

 

Step #1

 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

 

Step #2

 

Add sugars, cinnamon, and salt to a bowl. Whisk to combine.

 

Step #3

 

In a separate bowl, beat the egg white, vanilla, and water with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Add pecans to the egg white mixture and, using a rubber spatula, gently toss to coat. Pour pecans into sugar mixture and carefully stir until pecans are well coated.

 

Step #4

 

Spread the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Then enjoy! Bonus, your house will smell absolutely amazing.
