Irresistible Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Pecans

Ingredients

- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

3. Prepare the Coating: In a separate large bowl, whisk 1 egg white until frothy. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until combined.

4. Coat the Pecans: Add the 2 cups of pecan halves to the egg white mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. This will help the sugar mixture adhere to the pecans.

5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the sugar and cinnamon mixture to the egg-coated pecans. Stir gently to cover the pecans evenly with the sweet and spicy mix.

6. Roasting: Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 minutes. Stir the pecans every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting and caramelization.

7. Cooling: Once the pecans are roasted to a golden brown and aromatic, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet, letting them crisp up nicely.
