Categories     Candy     Nut     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 egg white
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups pecans

Steps:

  • Beat egg white until it just begins to become frothy, not entirely white, foamy and stiff. Add salt, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and sugar. Mix well. Add pecans and stir to coat the pecans. Spread pecans onto a buttered cookie sheet and bake at 250º for 1 hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Break apart large clusters, if desired. 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of ginger can also be added to this recipe for a little extra kick of flavor.

Tips:

  • To ensure even roasting, spread the pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Keep an eye on the pecans while roasting to prevent burning. The sugar coating can quickly caramelize and burn.
  • For a sweeter coating, increase the amount of sugar in the recipe. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or ginger, to taste.
  • Roasted pecans can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Use roasted pecans in salads, trail mixes, cookies, and other desserts.
