Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅔ cup white sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg white, room temperature
1 tablespoon water
1 pound whole pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix white sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
  • Beat egg white and water together in a separate large bowl until frothy but not yet stiff; add pecans and stir to coat. Season nuts with the sugar mixture and spread onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast in oven, turning occasionally, until the nuts are browned and no longer moist, about 30 minutes.
  • Set baking sheet on a wire rack to cool nuts, breaking apart any nuts stuck together.
