Servings Cups

Ingredients

1 pound Unsalted and Unroasted Whole Pecans (~4 cups)
6 tbsp Brown Sugar
4 tbsp White Sugar
2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1.5 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Egg White

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, add the egg white and vanilla.
Whisk until very frothy and bubbles form.
In a separate bowl, add the sugars, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Stir until well combined.
Add the pecans to a large bowl and pour the frothy egg white mixture over top. Stir until the pecans are nicely coated.
Add the spice mixture over top.
Stir until well combined and all the pecans are coated.
Lay the pecans out onto the lined baking sheet and push/spread them out with the back of a spoon. It's okay if they're touching but try not to have them overlap. Cover as much of the baking sheet surface as possible.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, stirring the pecans every 15. Allow to cool completely on the sheet pan before eating.
