Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • Preheat your oven to 300°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Alternatively, spray the sheet pan with non-stick vegetable oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites vigorously until just frothy, approximately 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and kosher salt.
  • Add the pecans to the bowl and mix well until all are evenly coated with the egg white and sugar mixture.
  • Pour the coated nuts and any excess liquid onto the prepared pan. Spread them out into a single layer.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the nuts with a spatula and spread them out into a single layer again. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely. They should continue to crisp up while cooling in the pan.
  • Serve the nuts at room temperature or store them in jars with lids for up to 7 days.
