Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 4 cups pecans
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Beat the egg white: Begin by beating the egg white until it becomes light and fluffy, which helps the sugar and spices adhere to the pecans.
- Combine pecans and egg white: Add the pecans to the beaten egg white and stir well to ensure all nuts are coated evenly.
- Add sugar and spices: Mix in the white sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt, stirring until all the pecans are thoroughly coated with the mixture.
- Prepare slow cooker: Transfer the coated pecans into the bowl of your slow cooker and spread them in an even layer.
- Cook the pecans: Place the lid on the slow cooker and set to low heat. Cook for 2 hours, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and coating.
- Cool the pecans: Once cooked, spread the pecans evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely, which helps them crisp up.
- Store and serve: After cooling, store the cinnamon sugar pecans in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Stirring halfway during cooking prevents burning and ensures even coating.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
- These pecans can be stored for up to two weeks in an airtight container.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or nutmeg.
- Make sure pecans cool completely before storing to maintain their crunchiness.
