1. Preheat the oven
Set to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Whisk the coating
In a large bowl, beat egg white and water until frothy (not stiff).
Add pecans and stir to coat evenly.
3. Mix sugar & spices
In a separate bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, salt, and optional spices.
Pour over pecans and toss to coat.
4. Bake
Spread pecans in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, stirring once or twice to prevent clumping and ensure even browning.
5. Cool & crisp
Let them cool completely — they’ll get crispier as they cool. Break up any clusters.
