Cinnamon Spice Candied Pecans

What can we say? We’re suckers for the gift of food, and these candied pecans make great gifts. Make double batches, throw them in a small mason jar with festive ribbon, and your holiday shopping is done! 

INGREDIENTS:

2 egg whites
4 cups raw unsalted pecans
1/2 cup cane sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp fine sea salt

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 300ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk eggs vigorously in a large mixing bowl. Stir in pecans to evenly coat. Add sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and sea salt to a separate small bowl. Whisk well to combine.
  2. Pour sugar and spice mixture over pecans and stir well to coat mixture around pecans. Spread evenly on baking a sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Stir pecans well and bake an additional 15-18 minutes. Remove pan from oven and stir pecans once more. Cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Serve or store in a dry location.
