- 6 cups pecan halves, unsalted
- 2 egg whites, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and lightly grease with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and water on medium-high speed until foamy and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

- Coat the pecans with the mixture, making sure they are evenly covered.
- Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes for even cooking.
- Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even roasting.
- Cool completely on the baking sheets before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
