Cinnamon Sugar Coated Pecans Recipe

Monday, December 10th, 2007

When I am cooking for a potluck, I have two main criteria:

  1. it’s fast (and/or easy)
  2. I have all the ingredients on hand.

Friday I gave you the recipe for Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip. Every Monday for the rest of this year, I am going to be featuring some of my favorite party recipes. Today’s recipe is Cinnamon Sugar coated pecans.

  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 pound pecan halves
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 250° F.

In a small bowl, whip together egg white and water until frothy. stir in pecans until coated with egg white mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

Remove nuts from egg white mixture and toss in cinnamon sugar mixture until thoroughly coated.

Spread nuts on a greased cookie sheet, bake at 250° F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Advice and tips:

  • Try using ziplock bags for the egg white mixture and the cinnamon sugar mixture. It makes the coating process much easier.
  • try substituting vanilla for the water
  • make a double batch, these will go QUICK!!!
