Sweet + Spicy Pecans

These are as close as I can get to TJ's version without sugar. Much better after a day or so when all the liquid has congealed on the nuts.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw pecans (or any nut really)
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 Tbsp Erythritol
  • 3 Tbsp Splenda
  • ¾ tsp cinnamon
  • ¾ tsp cayenne pepper (or ground red pepper)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 F. Line a 13x9 inch pan with foil and spray with cooking oil.
  2. Beat egg white in a bowl until foamy and stir into the nuts until evenly coated.
  3. In another bowl, mix the sweetener, cinnamon, pepper, and salt and pour over the nuts. Stir until evenly coated, then put in the pan. Use a spoon or fingers to get the nuts in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until toasted.
  5. Allow to cool on wax paper and store in an airtight container.
