Make these simple, crunchy cinnamon sugar pecans using just five ingredients. They are perfect for holiday snacking, gifting, or topping salads.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white until it is frothy, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the pecans to the egg white and toss until they are fully coated.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Pour the sugar mixture over the coated pecans and toss until every pecan has a thick, even coating.
  6. Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not let them touch.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes to prevent burning and promote even crisping.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
  9. Once cool, break apart any clusters. Store in an airtight container. These are great for meal planning or as a quick snack.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg white before whisking.
  • If you are looking for alternatives to baking, you can make these in a slow cooker on low for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • These pecans make excellent edible gifts. Package them in small jars or bags.
  • If you are tracking macros, these pair well with a balanced keto meal plan delivery if you reduce the sugar content slightly.
