Candied Pecans is made with pecan halves, 1 egg white, vanilla extract, sugar; air fry at 300°F for 10 minutes to serve 8. 200 calories per serving.
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Toss pecans with egg white and vanilla until evenly coated.
- 2
Mix sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne. Add to pecans and toss until fully coated.
- 3
Spread in a single layer on parchment in the basket. Air fry at 300°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking every 3 minutes.
- 4
Transfer to parchment paper immediately — they harden as they cool. Break apart any clusters.
- 5
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Tip: Low and slow is key — too hot and the sugar burns before the pecans toast. Shake frequently to prevent clumping. They'll feel soft when hot but harden as they cool.
