Ingredients

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg white
• 4 cups pecan halves

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 C).

2 Combine sugar, cinnamon and salt in small bowl.

3 Whisk egg white in large bowl until frothy. Add pecans to egg white and toss well to coat.

4 Add sugar mixture and toss carefully and thoroughly doing your best not to break the pecans.

5 Spread pecans in a single layer on a large cookie sheet.

6 Bake until toasted and crisp, about 20 minutes turning them over after the first 10 minutes ( take them out of oven and do this and arrange them neatly once again; this helps keep them from sticking to the pan after the 20 minutes).

7 Using a spatula, immediately loosen pecans from cookie sheet and let cool.

8 Put them in a large plastic container, cover and refrigerate, then you can fill a jar when you want to give them as a small gift!
