Spiced pecans are so simple to make and so good to eat! I have tried several different combinations of spices but keep coming back to using cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 3 cups pecan halves

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. Beat egg white and water together in a large bowl; add pecans and stir to coat.

  3. Mix sugar, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a small bowl; sprinkle over moistened nuts. Spread nuts on the prepared pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven, stirring once or twice, until toasted and fragrant, about 30 minutes.

Cook’s Note

I only use pecans, but mixed nuts would be fine.
