These sugared pecans are described as a favorite winter treat. The recipe uses coconut sugar as a swap for cane sugar, noted for its soluble fiber content that can help reduce blood sugar spikes.
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, toss pecans in beaten egg whites, coating evenly.
2. In a separate bowl, add sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until combined.
3. Toss the sugar mixture with the nut mixture until fully coated. Spread on a greased baking sheet (or parchment paper on a baking sheet).
4. Bake for 1 hour, tossing after 30 minutes.
5. Allow to cool and enjoy!
