Equipment

Ingredients

1 egg white
4 tsp water
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup white sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
¾ tsp salt
1 pound pecan halves

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the egg white until frothy, then whisk in the water and vanilla extract.
Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Add the pecan halves and mix until they are evenly coated in the glaze.
Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until the pecans are evenly glazed. Let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Stirring during baking helps create a smooth, even sugary coating on every pecan.
The pecans will crisp up more as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem slightly soft when hot.
