Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg white
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until foamy. Add the pecans and toss until evenly coated.
Step 4
Pour the spiced butter mixture over the pecans and gently stir to coat them evenly.
Step 5
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching too much to allow even cooking.
Step 6
Bake for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
