How to Make Curried Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk 1 large egg white with 1 tablespoon of water until slightly frothy.
  3. Add 4 cups of pecan halves and toss gently until pecans are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
  4. In a large zip-top bag, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest, ½ teaspoon seasoned salt, and 1 teaspoon curry powder.
  5. Add the coated pecans to the bag.
  6. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until the pecans are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
  7. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven, stir gently, and spread the pecans back into a single layer.
  11. Turn off the oven. Place the pecans back in the oven, leaving the oven door slightly ajar.
  12. Let them sit for 45-60 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown.
  13. Let cool completely before serving or storing. Enjoy!
