Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Pecans

These roasted pecans are dangerously snackable. A coating of egg white, cinnamon, and a touch of sugar creates a sweet, crunchy shell that is hard to stop eating. They make a great homemade gift or a topping for salads, oatmeal, and ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups pecan halves
  • 1 egg white, lightly whisked
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar crystals
  • 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp Redmond Real Salt

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the pecans with the egg white until evenly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle over the pecans and toss until coated.
  4. Spread in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until dry and fragrant.
  6. Cool completely on the pan. They will crisp up as they cool.

Notes

  • These keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • Try this with walnuts or a mix of California almonds and pecans.
  • For a spicy-sweet version, add ¼ tsp cayenne to the sugar mixture.
