Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep the Coating: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Coat the Pecans: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy. Add the pecans to the egg mixture and toss until they’re evenly coated.
- Add the Sugar Mixture: Pour the sugar mixture over the coated pecans and toss again to coat each pecan with the sweet mixture.
- Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and place the pecans in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through for even cooking.
- Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the pecans and spread them on parchment paper to cool. This will help the coating set.
Notes
- Make sure the pecans are evenly coated with the egg mixture before adding the sugar to get the best candy coating.
- If you want extra crunch, let the pecans cool for longer.
