Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Combine pecans and egg white: Add the pecans to the beaten egg white and stir well to ensure all nuts are coated evenly.
  3. 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.
  4. Prepare slow cooker: Transfer the coated pecans into the bowl of your slow cooker and spread them in an even layer.
  5. 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.
  6. Cool the pecans: Once cooked, spread the pecans evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely, which helps them crisp up.
  7. 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.
