Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups pecan halves raw
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker
  • 1 Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy, about 30 seconds.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture and stir to coat evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the pecans and stir until well combined.
  5. Transfer the coated pecans to the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 3 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes.
  6. Spread the pecans in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool. Break apart any clumps.
