Sweet & Spicy Pecans

This is a simple recipe that I had over the holidays, staying with my in-laws. The pecans are good as a snack or for adding some crunch to a green salad.

In a medium bowl, beat with a fork until slightly foamy

1. 1 egg white

Add

1. 2 c pecan halves

In another bowl, combine

1. 1/2 c sugar
2. 1 1/2 t salt
3. 1 1/2 t chili powder
4. 1/2 t cinnamon
5. pinch cayenne

Pour over nuts and toss to combine. Transfer nuts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat, leaving behind as much coating as possible. Use fingers to spread nuts into a single layer, separating them slightly. Bake at 300 F for 30 minutes.
