Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy. This will help the spices stick to the pecans.
Step 3
Add the pecan halves to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, ground ginger, and kosher salt. Mix until well blended.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pecans, tossing as you go to ensure all the pecans are evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the spiced pecans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting and coating.
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 spiced pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored for up to 2 weeks.
