Scale
- ½ cup light brown sugar

- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups raw pecan halves (16 ounces)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large bowl, vigorously whisk the egg white until foamy. Add the vanilla extract and whisk to combine. Add the pecans and stir to coat with the egg white.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the pecans and stir until evenly coated.
