Yield 4 cups

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons warm rendered bacon fat or melted unsalted butter

1 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
1 large egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment.

OLD-FASHIONED ROASTED PECANS



Old-Fashioned Roasted Pecans image

My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. I found out how they make the roasted pecans at the fair. Even though they use big roasters, these turn out just as great.

1 egg white
