Ingredients

• 2 cups Pecan halves
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until the mixture becomes frothy and slightly foamy.

Step 3

Add the pecan halves to the bowl, and gently toss them to ensure they are evenly coated in the egg white mixture.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans, a little at a time, tossing gently after each addition to evenly coat the pecans.

Step 6

Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even baking.

Step 7

Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring them every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even coating.

Step 8

Once the pecans are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 9

Store the cooled frosted pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
