Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and lightly grease with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites and water on medium-high speed until foamy and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and fold with a silicone spatula until combined.
- Add the pecans and stir to coat completely. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Halfway through baking, rotate the baking sheets and swap their positions in the oven.
- Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets. The sugar coating will continue to crisp up as it cools.
- Store pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
