Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the pecans in a large mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter and drizzle it on top of the pecans.  Toss to coat the pecans in the butter.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the egg white with a hand held mixer until frothy and it holds soft peaks.
  • Pour over the pecans and stir to coat the pecans with the frothed egg whites.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon.  Pour over the pecans and stir to coat.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  If your air fryer does not have a preheat option, then run the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
  • Place the pecans in the air fryer and cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes stirring every few minutes until the pecans are no longer wet.
  • Move the pecans to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Spread them out into an even layer and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to cool.
  • After this time, the pecans are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store the leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
