Sweet and Spicy Candied Pecans

White Sugar

tsp Ground Cinnamon

Salt

tsp Ground Ginger

tsp Ground Cardamom

Cayenne ((optional))

Egg White

lb Pecan Halves ((about 4 cups))

Preheat oven to 250°F / 121°C.

Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.

In a small mixing bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, salt, ground ginger, ground cardamom, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl egg white with a hand mixer (or standing mixer) until very light and frothy, ~3 minutes. Gently fold pecans into egg whites until evenly coated.

Sprinkle sugar mixture over pecans and stir until pecans are evenly coated.

Spread pecans out on prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Bake for 1 hour, stirring halfway through cooking, until sugar coating is crisp.

Let cool completely on the sheet pan and then use your hands to gently break pecans apart.
