Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 4-5 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250℉.
- Grease a large baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine sugar, sea salt, cinnamon and nutmeg set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip egg white and vanilla with a whisk until frothy (about 1 minute).
- Add pecans to wet mixture 2 cups at a time, stirring to coat the nuts evenly. Depending on the size of your egg white you may use slightly more or less pecans. Just make sure all nuts are well coated before adding more. Once pecans are completely coated, sprinkle the dry ingredients over the pecans and stir until evenly coated. Make sure to scrape any extra cinnamon sugar mixture off the sides and bottom of the bowl and incorporate it into the pecans.
- Spread the pecans evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 250℉ for 1 hour. Stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool or enjoy them warm! Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the freezer!
