Ingredients
- 1 pound pecan halves.
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread 1 pound of pecan halves on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg white and 1 tablespoon of water until frothy and slightly thickened.
- Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture and toss until the pecans are evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the pecans and toss to coat evenly. Make sure all the pecans are well-covered with the sweet and spiced coating.
- Spread the coated pecans back on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Once golden and crispy, remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container once cooled, and enjoy your homemade Buc-ee’s-style candied pecans!
