Ingredients

• 2 cups Pecans
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until frothy but not stiff.

Step 3

Add the pecans to the bowl and stir until they are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans and toss until all the pecans are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to avoid clumping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even caramelization.

Step 8

Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the pecans to an airtight container for storage, or enjoy them immediately!
