Maple Pecans

Maple Pecans

(4 cups)

 

Ingredients:
 

4 cups Whole Pecans

½ cup Pure Maple Syrup

2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter, melted

½ tsp. Kosher Salt

½ tsp. Cayenne Pepper

¼ tsp. Black Pepper

1 large Fresh Egg White, room temperature

Directions:

Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes to toast.  Toast until they are fragrant.  Let cool before continuing.  Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.  In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooled pecans, maple syrup, butter, salt and both peppers until well combined.  In a medium bowl whisk the egg white until frothy.  Add the egg white to the pecan mixture and toss well.  Spread pecan mixture out on the baking sheets in a single layer not touching each other.  Place in a 250 degree pre-heated oven for about 40 minutes or until they are golden brown.  Immediately loosen pecans from the paper using a spatula and let completely cool before serving.

Note:               This mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for about a week.
