For an enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Store any leftover roasted pecans in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness. The pecans can be stored for up to 2 weeks. Use parchment paper to line the pan for easier cleanup.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a large, impeccably clean glass or metal bowl, beat the egg white with a whisk or electric mixer until it becomes foamy and soft peaks gently form. Ensure the peaks are soft and rounded, not stiff. (3-5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Gently fold the pecan halves into the whipped egg white, ensuring they are evenly coated. (2 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Sprinkle this aromatic mixture over the pecan mixture, stirring gently to coat each pecan evenly. (3 minutes)
05
Step
3 mins
Lightly coat the bottom of a jelly roll pan (or a large baking sheet with edges) with the softened butter. Spread the pecan mixture in a single, even layer across the prepared pan, ensuring no pecan is overcrowded. (5 minutes)
06
Step
1 mins
Bake in the preheated oven, turning the pecans occasionally with a spatula to ensure even roasting, until they are crisp and golden brown. This should take approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
