Spiced Sugar Coated Pecans
Recipe by: Tasnim Haleem
These sugar coated pecans are super easy to make and only require a few ingredients! The coating is made extra crunchy by using whipped egg whites.
Ingredients
1/2 lb raw shelled pecans
3 Tbsp. 100% Eggland’s Best Egg Whites
1 tsp water
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 250° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl mix together your sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a larger bowl pour in your egg whites, water, and vanilla extract. Whisk until light and fluffy with no liquid remaining.
- Add in your pecans to the egg white mixture, and fold gently with a spatula to cover all the pecans.
- Sprinkle in the sugar mixture, folding it in as you go.
- Once you’ve used up all the sugar mixture and all your pecans are covered, spread the pecans onto the baking dish. Bake at 250° for one hour. Stir and separate nuts immediately after taking it out of the oven.
- Cool fully and store in an airtight container.
