Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Sugar Candied Pecans.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 250°F (120°C), setting the stage for some deliciously roasted pecans.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, creating a sweet and spicy blend that will elevate your nuts.
Step 3
In a larger bowl, whisk the egg white and water until it’s nice and frothy—this will help the sugar mixture stick to the pecans.
Step 4
Now, gently toss the pecan halves into the egg white mixture, ensuring each one is beautifully coated.
Step 5
Gradually sprinkle your sugar mixture over the pecans, stirring them until they’re fully covered in that delightful sweetness.
Step 6
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet, giving them plenty of room to roast evenly.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and let them bake for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
After that, give the pecans a good stir and rearrange them into a single layer again.
Step 9
Keep an eye on them and continue baking, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 10
This process will take an additional 30 to 50 minutes, but trust me, the aroma wafting through your kitchen will be worth the wait! Enjoy your perfectly roasted pecans as a snack, a topping for salads, or a delightful addition to your favorite desserts.
