Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• In a large bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy. Add the vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
• Add the pecans to the egg white and toss until evenly coated.
• In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
• Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the coated pecans and stir or toss until the pecans are evenly covered.
• Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch closely toward the end to avoid burning.
• Remove from the oven and let the pecans cool completely on the baking sheet; they will crisp as they cool. Break apart any clusters.
• Store cooled pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
