Although these are so simple to make, the technique and specific order each step takes place should be noted.

About the egg white

For 8oz of pecans you'll only need one egg white, add in your vanilla extract and water once you're ready to whip it up. Be sure your mixer is affixed with a whisk attachment. Whip the eggs to stiff peaks form. When you reach stiff peaks there won't be any liquid at the bottom of your mixing bowl. If your mixture can slide about easily, it needs more time to whip. Additionally, the egg white will hold its form and won't collapse.

The process

Mix the dry ingredients together first. In a separate bowl; slowly fold the pecans into the egg white mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites. Once you see the pecans are coated rather evenly, it's time for the sugar/cinnamon. Toss and gently fold again here until all ingredients have combined.

Baking candied pecans

It's important that you line a baking sheet with parchment paper. The pecans will be sticky so try your best to separate the larger chunks. Once inside the oven, you'll need to return about every 15 minutes to toss them; this ensures even baking time exists. It makes that crunchy finish!
