Equipment
- 3 Medium mixing bowls
- Large baking sheet
Ingredients
- 3 cups pecans
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup Maple sugar granulated (not syrup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine coconut sugar, maple sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Whip the egg white. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white for 1–2 minutes until frothy with soft, runny peaks.
- Coat the pecans. Add 3 cups of pecans to the egg white mixture and toss until fully coated. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans and stir well to ensure every pecan is evenly covered.
- Bake. Spread the coated pecans evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even caramelization.
- Cool and store. Allow pecans to cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
