My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. I found out how they make the roasted pecans at the fair. Even though they use big roasters, these turn out just as great.

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

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 freshest pecans possible. Fresh pecans will have a light tan color and a slightly sweet aroma. Avoid pecans that are dark or wrinkled, as these may be old or rancid.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor your pecans. Common spices used to flavor roasted pecans include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. You can also add a little bit of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Roast the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly. If you crowd the pecans on the baking sheet, they will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the pecans until they are fragrant and golden brown. The pecans should be roasted for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown. Be careful not to overcook the pecans, as they can quickly burn.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. Once the pecans are roasted, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This will help them to stay fresh and crisp.

Conclusion:

Roasted pecans are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to a variety of dishes. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. By following these tips, you can roast pecans that are perfectly flavored and crispy.
