Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; add vanilla and gradually add sugar. Toss in the pecans and mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until they are coated thoroughly.

Step 3

Pour melted butter on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Spread the pecans out evenly over the baking sheet and cook for 40 minutes, turning them every 10 minutes with a spatula – do not skip this step! (They will look like a gloppy mess at first, but don’t worry! Keep turning as instructed and all will be good.)

Step 5

Remove from oven and cool for about 2 minutes

Step 6

Place powdered sugar and cinnamon in a large resealable plastic bag; add in the pecans, seal and shake until coated.

Step 7

Best served warm, but absolutely delicious even after a few weeks!
