Ingredients
-
½ cup butter, melted
-
1 cup white sugar
-
3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
-
4 cups pecan halves
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pour butter over foil layer.
-
Whisk sugar, egg whites, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Add pecans and toss to fully coat. Spread coated pecans on the buttered baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven, stirring and flipping pecans after 10 minutes, until pecans are toasted, about 20 minutes. Cool pecans on baking sheet for 15 minutes.
Cook's Note:
Make sure the pecans are tossed around on cookie sheet while baking to ensure they don't burn on one side. Careful not to break the foil.
