How to make Cinnamon Sugar Pecans
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg. Mix well.
Prepare Wet Mixture
In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the egg white, water, and vanilla extract until it becomes foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Coat Pecans
Add pecan halves to the egg white mixture and toss until all pecans are coated.
Using a slotted spoon, lift coated pecans into the sugar mixture. Use a fork to gently stir the pecans into the sugar mixture until all pecans are coated.
Bake Pecans
Spread pecans evenly over the lined cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
Mix and turn pecans with a fork and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Cool and Store
Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Break apart any pecans that are stuck together.
Store pecans in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the egg white mixture is foamy to help the sugar mixture adhere better to the pecans.
If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, adjust the amount of ground cloves and nutmeg to taste.
