Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 4 cups pecan halves

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pour butter over foil layer.

Step 2
Whisk sugar, egg whites, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Add pecans and toss to fully coat. Spread coated pecans on the buttered baking sheet.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven, stirring and flipping pecans after 10 minutes, until pecans are toasted, about 20 minutes. Cool pecans on baking sheet for 15 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

Make sure the pecans are tossed around on cookie sheet while baking to ensure they don't burn on one side. Careful not to break the foil.
