This Candied Pecans recipe is the best I've tasted! A few simple ingredients like brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and egg and then it's as easy as letting the oven do it's magic. They make a tasty snack, or salad topper and are excellent homemade gifts as well!
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (you can also give it a quick spray of cooking spray, though you shouldn't have to).
Put the egg white into a mixing bowl and whisk until foamy.
Add the vanilla extract to the egg whites and whisk to combine. Set aside.
In small bowl mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg until really well combined.
Add the pecans to the egg white mixture. Toss until evenly coated.
Pour the sugar mixture over the pecans and toss them again until they're evenly coated in the sugar mixture.
Spread the pecans onto your sheet pan in a single layer.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, turning once half way through.
