THE BEST ROASTED PECANS



The Best Roasted Pecans image

Sweet cinnamon-sugary pecans, hot from the oven! These taste just like the roasted pecans I get every summer at baseball games.

Provided by cookinmama

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Nuts and Seeds

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg white
1 ½ pounds pecan halves
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
  • Mix the pecan halves into the egg white.
  • Stir the white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl; add to the pecan and egg white mixture and stir.
  • Coat the bottom of a jelly roll pan with the softened butter.
  • Spread the pecan mixture in an even layer in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, turning occasionally, 45 to 60 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pecans: Look for plump, unblemished pecans with a smooth, light-brown shell. Avoid any pecans that are cracked, shriveled, or have dark spots.
  • Roast the pecans in a single layer: This will ensure that they roast evenly and don't steam. If you have a lot of pecans to roast, do it in batches.
  • Keep an eye on the pecans while they're roasting: They can burn quickly, so it's important to stir them frequently and remove them from the oven as soon as they're fragrant and golden brown.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before storing them: This will help them to stay crisp.
  • Store the pecans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place: They will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or for up to 6 months in the freezer.

Conclusion:

Roasted pecans are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to a variety of dishes. They're a good source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, and they're also a good source of antioxidants. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy snack or a festive addition to your holiday table, roasted pecans are a great choice.
