- 118 ml sugar
- 118 ml brown sugar
- 3.7 ml cinnamon
- 2.46 ml salt
- 473 ml pecan halves or other nuts
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 250°F. Grease a baking sheet with butter or nonstick spray.
-
Step 2.
In a medium bowl, whisk the 2 egg whites with a spoonful of water until frothy, about 30 seconds.
-
Step 3.
In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, ¾ tsp cinnamon, and ½ tsp salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
-
Step 4.
Add the 2 cups pecan halves to the egg white mixture and toss until all nuts are well coated.
-
Step 5.
Pour the sugar mixture over the coated nuts and toss until each nut is evenly covered in the sugar blend.
-
Step 6.
Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 250°F for 45 minutes, stirring every 10–15 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent burning.
-
Step 7.
Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet; they will crisp up as they cool. Store in an airtight container.
