Praline Pecans

Praline Pecans are sweet and crunchy toasted pecans that are lightly spiced with cinnamon and are the perfect snack or easy holiday gift.
Pro Tip
The baking pan must be lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper (step #1) to prevent the pecans from sticking.

Pecan halves are coated with an egg white and water mixture then tossed with cinnamon sugar in a Ziplock bag for easy clean up.

Praline pecans are quick and easy with 5 minutes of prep time and are only stirred twice while toasting in the oven for 1 hour. They are soft right out of the oven but become crunchy once completely cooled.
