Air Fryer Candied Pecans,

Air Fryer Candied Pecans are a delightful treat that are perfect for snacking, topping salads, or gifting. They’re easy to make and have a wonderful sweet and crunchy texture. Here’s a simple recipe for making them:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups pecan halves
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pecans:
   • In a large bowl, whisk the egg white and water until frothy.
   • Add the pecan halves to the bowl and stir to coat them evenly with the egg white mixture.
2. Mix the Sugar and Spices:
   • In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
   • Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans and stir until they are evenly coated.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
4. Cook the Pecans:
   • Place the coated pecans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
   • Air fry the pecans at 300°F (150°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
   • Check the pecans towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning. They should be golden brown and smell fragrant.
5. Cool and Store:
   • Remove the pecans from the air fryer and spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool. They will crisp up as they cool.
   • Once completely cool, store the candied pecans in an airtight container at room temperature.

Enjoy your Air Fryer Candied Pecans! They make a great snack on their own or can be used as a topping for salads, yogurt, or desserts.
