Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups raw shelled pecans

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg white until light and foamy. A drop or two of water helps break up the egg whites, making them easier to whisk.
  • Add the sugar, spices, and salt to the bowl.
  • Whisk until incorporated.
  • Add the nuts to the bowl and coat them completely in the egg white mixture.
  • Spread the pecans evenly onto a parchment or tin foil lined baking sheet. Put in a preheated 300 degree oven.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes. Every few minutes turn the nuts in the pan. They will be done when they are dry and the nuts are toasted and brown.
  • While they are still warm, I like to give them an extra sprinkle of salt. You do not have to though. Let the pecans cool completely before you package them.
