Ingredients

0.33 cup white sugar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 pound pecan halves

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Gather all of your ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate, large bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the pecans to the egg white mixture and toss to ensure they are fully coated.
Gradually add the sugar mixture, stirring continuously until the pecans are evenly coated.
Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Stir the pecans and spread them back into a single layer. Continue baking, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until the pecans are evenly browned, approximately 30 to 50 minutes more.
Enjoy your homemade candied pecans! Serve immediately or store for later.
