Easy Spiced Pecans Recipe: Perfect Holiday Snack

Ingredients

• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon water
• 3 cups pecan halves
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until a light and frothy mixture forms. Add the pecans to the bowl and stir until each pecan is evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
3. In a separate, smaller bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the moistened pecans. Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
4. Bake in the preheated oven, stirring the pecans once or twice during baking, until they are toasted, fragrant, and golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. Allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet; they will become perfectly crisp as they cool.
5. Once the pecans are completely cool, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool fully on the baking sheet. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain their crispness and flavor.
