candied pecans

A semi-healthy snack and they make your house smell like fall.

  • 1 egg white (you can throw the yolk out, don’t need it for this)

  • 1 tsp water

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup white sugar

  • dash salt

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 2 cups pecan halves

Preheat the oven to 250º. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil or parchment paper.

Using a fork or a whisk, combine the egg white, water, and vanilla in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

Add the pecans to the liquid mixture and stir to coat. Add the sugar mixture and stir again.

Spread the nuts out on the baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet before moving.
