CINNAMON ROASTED PECANS
Steps:
- Beat egg white until it just begins to become frothy, not entirely white, foamy and stiff. Add salt, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and sugar. Mix well. Add pecans and stir to coat the pecans. Spread pecans onto a buttered cookie sheet and bake at 250º for 1 hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Break apart large clusters, if desired. 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of ginger can also be added to this recipe for a little extra kick of flavor.
Tips:
- Select plump, fresh pecans: Look for pecans that are free of cracks or blemishes. The heavier the pecan, the better.
- Use a sharp knife to score the pecans: This will help the cinnamon sugar mixture adhere to the pecans. You can also use a nutcracker, but be careful not to crush the pecans.
- Toast the pecans before roasting: Toasting the pecans will bring out their natural flavor and make them more crispy.
- Use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar: This will give the pecans a sweet and caramelized flavor.
- Add a pinch of salt: Salt will help to balance out the sweetness of the pecans.
- Roast the pecans until they are fragrant and golden brown: Be sure to keep an eye on the pecans so that they don't burn.
- Let the pecans cool completely before storing: This will help them to retain their crispiness.
Conclusion:
Roasted cinnamon pecans are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to your favorite recipes. They are a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, reach for a handful of roasted cinnamon pecans.
