How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk two large egg whites lightly until frothy.
  3. Add 4 cups pecan halves to the bowl with the egg whites.
  4. Gently toss the pecans until they are evenly coated with the egg whites.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Pour the cinnamon sugar mixture over the egg-coated pecans.
  7. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure all pecans are evenly coated.
  8. Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pecans are golden brown and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
  10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately transfer the pecans to a wire rack lined with wax paper to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
